This is the reason that most adult problems are traced back to some childhood learned behavior. They want to walk like we walk, talk like we talk, wear what we wear, go where we go, do what we do. If you dont like how your kids are acting or what their doing you usually have just have to look in the mirror to see where it came from. Now having said this, i have a 6 year old son and he sees me smoke cigars, and he is curious, i try to avoid making a deal out of it when he is around. Im hoping that this is one of my habits that he does not try to emulate until he is old enough for me to properly introduce him to the fine leaf. So just be aware of what you do in front of your kids, because your most likely going to see it again.

Wow, I'm impressed! Alot of good responses here. I'm glad that it's not abnormal for my son to be so intrigued by them. He is full of questions every time I light one up or even get some and throw them in my travel humi. I'm sure when he is 18 that he'll be way ahead of the game if he decides he wants to partake. He is like a sponge and soaks up everything I tell him and can remember the most mundane facts that I let slip by. There is still hope for him, unlike his old man!

I wish I had gotten the advice and put a box away of something good when he was born, but i'm 9, almost 10 years too late for that now!

I say let your son have an occasional puff. It wont hurt him. When I was 7 or 8 I used to have a sip of my Dads red wine on the odd occasion and I turned out just fine. I drink about four glasses of red a week - hardly an alcoholic...

Well the difference is that these days you will go to jail for doing that. Its called child neglect,child endangerment and child abuse, along with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. I used to sip my dads beer when I was young, fond memories, just dont let somebody see you these days and put it on youtube. The Sheriff will be at your door quickly.

How would I go about checking suppliers on that? I will talk to my local B&M and see if they have anything. Should have thought of it tonight!
