Yea, I saw that Thurs. and was dumbfounded too!!! I mean really, who thought that was a bright idea??? Not to mention all the other ideas that crossed my mind, unbelievable!

I saw a similar article too but it had a different video, one with his dad smiling as the kid blew smoke rings. There was also another tag line that claimed the boy has since been to rehab and has quit. The parents only motivation though was not his health but the 5.00 per day expense needed maintain his habit. Sickening.

Now that the cigarette companies have lost so many smokers in the U.S., they are concentrating on overseas sales. It is terrible. I wish our tobacco farmers could make as much money with some other crop (and I know quite a few who would be glad to do so). If they advertised the chemicals they use when they grow the tobacco, no one would ever smoke. Very sad.

I am in shock and sickened. The mom "doesn't know how he ended up with a cigarette in his mouth." Please, someone had to buy them, light them and show him how to smoke them.
