Oh my god. Why would you do that to your baby??
Disgusting.
And that's whether they are giving him cigarettes or whether they are using him for, well, money I assume, by pretending he smokes.
Unless the papers are making it up and those photos are computer simulations. (I don't seriously think that's a possibility, btw!)
And we have to give him fags or he has a tantrum? WTF?
Mind you, how many times have I heard, seen or read that? OK, not about the fags but about parents giving in to their child's bad behaviour because it's easier for them in the short term.
Well, there's something my mil says about that. "You cry now or you cry later" and I think it's true. Either face the tantrums and be firm now, or go for the easy life now and look at a total out of control BRAT or damaged child (or in this case a 15 yr old with lung cancer!) and weep in regret of your totally shit excuse for parenting.
