Talk about smoking with your children.

The best way to keep your child from smoking is to
not be a smoker yourself. The next best thing you can
do is to talk about the dangers of tobacco with your
child. Here are two tips from the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention:
• Start talking about tobacco use when your child is 5
or 6 years old and continue talking about it through
the high school years. Talk about the risks of tobacco
use. If friends or relatives died from tobacco-related
illnesses, talk about this as well.
• Know if your child’s friends use tobacco. Talk about
ways to refuse tobacco.
