I did not want Cody to smoke, but as would be he sat and watched a friend smoking at about 6 years old and because of our relationship he asked if he could also smoke. "No problem my boy, you suck that side put the lighter otherside, enjoy, don't tell mom"
Ja - did not go well for him, had my mates offer him a smoke every time they lit up.
It was years later when a real earth, Woodstock type of friend came by, he rolled his own cigarettes and really made the process look appealing. I saw Cody watching, everytime, he sat fascinated.
So I prepped the wife.
The following day while doing Cody things he tore one of my firelighter bags open (dried used tea bags). Next minute we were told of how he had found where Uncle Garth got his tobacco " it was easy dad, you just tear these open"
So later in day he had collected a whole tray of "tobacco", a life times smoking in fact, all he needed was some paper.
I was to record to show Uncle Garth how clever he was ;D
The lesson learnt is clear.
