It is the job of parents to educate their children and protect them from the dangers of the world. Tobacco use is something parents need to teach their children about, set expectations to not use, and monitor that behavior. There will always be temptations or evils in the world, but parents set that expectation and teach their children to make good choices. I think that is a significant issue in our society; the attempt to blame others for our own weaknesses. I know from smoking at a young age myself, that had my parents been more aware of where I was and what I was doing at that age, I would not have been able to get away with smoke at age 12. Just my two cents.

"whose job is it to protect children from either deliberately trying or inadvertently ingesting tobacco products? One could say it's up to parents or other caregivers to monitor a child and keep toxic substances in secured locations. But what about modeling and peer pressure? How much responsibility should fall on the government to regulate tobacco products, marketing and accessibility" (These questions are part of the article, linked above)
