Or smoking just because there's nothing else to do? What excuse do you have? While you're smoking your worries away or letting time pass, there might be a small child around you, cheerfully playing with his toys or may be cluelessly looking at you. Has your wife ever asked you to stop smoking for the sake of your children?
What? You don't smoke at home? Fair enough!! What about parks and public buses? Even if you ensure no children are near you while you smoke, do you also make sure you wash your hands and brush your teeth before you pick up your child? Smoking is injurious to your child's health. It contaminates the indoor air and affects your child's lungs which are still in the developmental phase. Have you noticed your child rubbing their eyes repeatedly, or coughing while you smoke? This is not something to be taken too lightly. Passive smoke contains more than 4000 chemical compounds. Dear Daddy, if you don't stop smoking now you will die.
