Hey - you sure they weren't in our orphanage?
Our kids start smoking as soon as they think they can get away with it...usually when they're about 8 or so. For a while all our windows were nailed shut so the kids couldn't take off whenever they wanted, but then the fire marshal got upset at that, so once again they're all off to who-knows-where (I do, but we won't go there) whenever they want.
It's a heartbreaking situation - I'm just grateful I get to be there for them! By God's grace, we'll see things change...
