Call me old fashioned, but...

Walking home from Tesco, I walked past two young girls - like, they looked really young, definitely preteens - and one of them was casually smoking a cigarette. Is that a norm for kids nowadays?!

No I don't think it is ... I have three teenagers and they don't. They tell me most things and we have loads of my daughter's friends around most weekends .... I think it maybe depends if they grew up in a smoking household.

i read the other day less young people smoke than ever before..far less than previous generations..they get a lot more education in school on the subject and the inability to buy them has worked really well! its a horrible sight to see an almost child with a cigarette...and im a smoker..

I've seen a few round here too - smoking and drinking in a clump of trees in a local park.. Very young.. God, I was 15/16 when I had my first flagon of Strongbow and 10 No 6 fags!

Sweeping generalisation alert.

I lived in the posh neighbourhood and started smoking when I was 13.

I also think it depends more on the area where they grow up and whether their parents some - more bizarre for me was a couple of weeks ago with my 14yr daughter in the car, she pointed a lad out and said he was in the year below her at school….. he had an e-cig

Very true but generalisations often have a basis in truth.

I went to the theatre tonight and another woman came out to light up. She lit two and passed one to what I can only describe as a 10 year old

No but it used to be the norm in old fashioned times.
