Researcher Tracey Bowen said of the findings: "Unfortunately it is realistic. I had a patient who started between two and three.

"His parents gave him cigarettes because they thought it was funny."

WTF who would think it is funny to give a toddler cigarettes???
Some people have no sense

omfg, that is discusting why would anyone find it funny to basically poison their child!!

9 is the average age im shocked x

TBH I had my first ciggie when I was 8
I was in a new foster home and was bullied into it.
I didn't start smoking properly until I was about 16

Rob started at 9, I find it so sad that children so young manage to get hold of them, but then if they are wanting something they're gonna get it lol.... I have no words for the so called "parents" that gave that poor child a cigarette at the age of 3, its disgusting!! xx
