That isn't what's being shown in movies though, rk. I understand that you can do your best to ensure that your son grows up with a healthy respect for tobacco as a substance, in much the same way as one would hope he'd grow up with a healthy respect for alcohol.

The trouble is yours aren't the only messages your son will listen to and take on board whilst growing up. Another problem is that whilst you may think what you are teaching him is respect for tobacco...but it's possible what you are actually teaching him is that tobacco is pretty cool and something to be desired. Combine that message with a set of ther messages (from peer group as he gets older, from movies if they are still allowed to show smoking :P, etc.)
