[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think this is appropriate for a small community where children are being raised and often run across neighbor's yards playing. I don't want my kids (Ages 12, 11, and 7) to have the second hand smoke risk, plus I do not want to have the adult influence of smokers living next door. [/quote] I would use this as an opportunity to say to my children (as I often do) that in a community, different people do different things. And that smoking is a very unhealthy habit that is extremely hard to stop once you have started, so it's best not to start in the first place. I think that the risk from second-hand smoke from running across neighbors' yards while the neighbors are standing outside smoking is pretty minimal. And smoking is legal. You cannot ask them not to smoke on their own stoop.[/quote]
