People and closet smoking?!


Question: what is the purpose of people closet smoking? I know two women who have kids around my age (I'm 14) and the women hide it from their kids. The mothers get cigarettes from my mother and they'll leave the room and smoke together and have me and my younger brother keep the kids my age, enertained so they don't catch their parents. Everyone else, but the kids know. What would cause mothers to hide this from their kids and not everyone else? What's the purpose?

My mom was a closet smoker who started when I was a teen. She thought it would influence me in a bad way if I knew she smoked. It was actually kind of cute. She wasn't all that great at hiding it and for a while we went along with her. I finally confronted her and told her I knew and that I didn't think any less of her. I also told her that I had tried smoking long before I knew she smoked. It was kind of a bonding moment for us. She realized she wasn't my only influence(Dad was a heavy smoker) and that I could be mature about knowing who she was. I realized how much stress she was under. It was a big step towards both of us being very open and honest with each other. Something that remains today!

Tobbaco and cigarettes are the nuisance and would have been developed right from the childhood which becomes difficult to discard or overcome from that habit after many years. Better to take the help of any counsels of tobacco abuse. You have to pity on the person who consume tobacco and not to hatrad. It contains nicotine which goes in the biological system of the human body and create a craving to consume it , when it becomes the habit. To discard the habit , the individual has to have the determination first and gradually it has to be nulified. Such persons should be persuaded to leave it by proper demonstration of its ill effect . The pictures and videos of tobacco abuse should be displayed / shown to them and to be convinced that , it is very prone to cancer . But it requires tremendous help from the family members and friends.

The mothers being elderly persons are fully aware about the problems and wanted to keep their children away from it , hence they hide. It is to be reviewed sympathetically and children should help elderly person to convince them to discard the habit if feasible. Proper counselling with confience and privacy of such person will help them to dicard

I hide my smoking from kids because I dont want to be a bad influence on them, not to mention that its bad for them to be breathing it. I dont want them to make the same mistake I did of picking up the habit.
