[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]would you all be good if I gave your kids those fake candy cigarettes that were popular is the 70's? we loved pretending we were so cool smoking them. and yes, I did end up being a smoker because I did think it was cool. don't smoke now but based on my experience, I would not want to glamorize drinking. give them the drink but dont let them think it is a margarita.[/quote]

I posted earlier. I loved those candy and gum cigarettes and I don't smoke and never have. Typically, you're over the age of 8 or 10 when you begin smoking. Those candy cigarettes were lots of fun for 8 and 10 year olds, but I don't remember 16 or 18 year olds playing with them, which MAYBE you could use in your argument for them as a "gateway drug" to actual, real smoking.

I also drink drinks without alcohol in them. When my husband's having a rum and coke, I'm drinking a coke. I also let my children drink coke.

Clearly they're going to grow into raging alcoholics.

(They might, but it won't be because we let them have non-alcoholic drinks in a the same style glass my DH uses for his alcoholic drinks.) [/quote]
