Yes, I agree that it is probably a red flag, just a little difficult to change, It's as if I need total drama to change bad habits in my life.......right now it works so I go with it, but my kids are 8 and 4 and I know one day that may change. That is a shame about you being taken as a small child.......What happened??? I mean I guess it's really hard for me to see how anyone could think of taking my children just because I smoke......I mean they are well cared for, we do lot's of fun stuff as a family, they are highly intelligent, doing well in school and preschool, about the only issue with them is that they are headstrong and independent.......I don't know personally, I wish it were just legal, I mean heck, alcohol to me is way worse. I would be interested in hearing your story if you would like to share........maybe I would understand how my smoking may indirectly impact the lives of my children.
