JRM>in a previous post, ALL teens are not smoking...in fact I believe the 
ratio
 JRM>smoking/non-smoking teens leans toward the non-smoking side, and
 JRM>always has. Apparently, some teens have the ability to resist such
 JRM>advertisments. Perhaps this is because their parents don't smoke and
 JRM>have educated their children on the ramifications of smoking. The
 JRM>actions of the parents are much more responsible for teen smoking than
 JRM>the tobacco companies, IMNSHO.
 JFD> Well, I'd like to believe that's why I never notice tobacco stains or
 JFD> smell on my daughter.

 JFD> I found the ways of children to be terrible and cruel
 JFD> As I was different, they choose me for the one
 JFD> The subject of their pleasure, To torment just for fun
 JFD> (From those words and the ones that follow them it is clear that Bill
 JFD> and I were destined to meet.  We both were "Different" and both used
 JFD> the same tools to survive the school yard)
 JFD> What you do to get an entire class of kids lit up is make it look cool
 JFD> (IN their innocenect they don't know any better after all) and get a
 JFD> few kids to light up.  Now the rest will tend to follow the leaders so
 JFD> as to not be the "Different" kid.
 JFD> Of course, There are always hold outs (IE: Bill, and I) who don't go
 JFD> with the flow but follow a better (We hope) path.
 JFD> Still... The pressure that a class of smokers can bring on a few kids
 JFD> who think drugs are for dopes (Why do you think they call it DOPE)
