Sounds like the "do as I say, not as I do" approach.. must work really well, like parents telling their kids not to do drugs, but going off to smoke a bowl.

I think there's a certain amount of reponsibility people accept when they choose a career involving kids. If it's stressful, deal with it outside of kids' prying eyes. Once again, teaching kids that they should turn to harmful substances to deal with their stress isn't exactly being a good role model.

And "personal rights" of the smoker doesn't mean they have the right to impose their bad habit on other people. I can't tell you how annoyed I get nowadays when buddy's wife runs off for a smoke, and comes back to the dinner table reeking like a dirty ashtray. Not to mention how the whole world is their ashtray, as I look around the 'flower gardens' around most TTC stations are just blankets of butts. I'm seriously tempted to follow a smoker home one day with a bucket of butts and drop it on their front lawn...

maybe we should move wing night to the schoolyard across the street from me.. little kids everywhere should know that beer is fun!
