No Smoking Allowed!

Noah is fascinated with people who smoke. He feels the need to tell me whenever he sees someone smoking and then very loudly tell me "They are going to die". I mean, I can't blame him, I think i am the one who brainwashed him on that matter. That's what parents do right?? :) I mean the conversation is usually the same anyway...Noah tells me they are going to die and then i start in on how nasty smoking is, Noah tells me he knows, and we move on. Today while driving to the store, we passed a trucker with a cigarette on his mouth and Noah preceded to tell me he was "going to die". I continued with my usual "smoking is so nasty" and Noah told me that if anyone asked him to smoke that he would run away from them. I thought it would be a good opportunity to tell Noah that it might not always be a stranger that offers him cigarettes but one day it might be someone he knows, even one of his friends. Noah assured me that his friends would not offer him a cigarette "because Ella, Cole, Audrey, Padon, Madeline, and Luke don't smoke." Whew. I was very glad to hear the 4 years aren't taking smoke breaks in pre-k!
