the mother in this situation is the one who needs to be educated. poor child being manipulated in this way is dreadful. i wonder why fat people are not attacked in this way. I wonder why someone eating a chocoalte bar, or a doughnut or a piece of red meat is not harangued in this way! Can you imagine it? walking around the supermarket and having some haelth nazi chatise you when you buy something ready packaged or cake or whatever? not likely to happen because although much money is involved with tobacco, even more is involved with the food industry and most of the food industry produce crap. good tasting crap but crap none the less. If people actually took notice and stopped smoking and eating crap, we'd be bankrupt as countries very quickly, unemployment would be enormous...well the west would collapse. bw colin
