I'm curious about your policies regarding your kids, especially teens, & smoking. Here's my sitch: I have a 15 yr. old cousin visiting me from out-of-state for a couple of weeks. She has smoked, & openly admitted it to me (I'm nearly 28, & sortof a cool big sis figure). When she asked if I did, I admitted it because I'm not big on lying & deceit. She hasn't really pushed the issue of smoking much since she arrived, & I'm reluctant to do it with her (I don't want her mom to find out & forbid her to visit).

Any parents or others with younger relatives have insight to share? My thoughts are that when she turns 18, I would smoke with her if she wanted; I just don't think it's wise to do it with her as a juvenile. As a sidebar, there's a chance she may end up moving in with me (crazy homelife back home for her, etc.), so that's added incentive for me *not* to smoke around her, at least not til she's a legal adult.

I guess I've sorta formed my own decision, but am interested in hearing how others have handled stuff like this.
