Many people who do not smoke think that it is a\ndefinite yes for this issue because they think that smoking is unhealthy for\neveryone, especially children. But for the people who smoke, the answer may not\nbe a yes because they enjoy smoking very much and it is not that easy for them\nto quit smoking. For me, it is an absolute<s>ly<\/s> yes. Smokers who become\nparents should be forced to quit smoking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First,\nsmoking is an activity that chronically affects human physical health. It\ncauses many critical health problems, for example, lung cancer and\nnasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC)<s>,<\/s>. t The<s>ir<\/s> worst case is death.\nSmoking produces secondhand smoke and third-hand smoke. Children will breathe\nin the chemicals in the secondhand and third-hand smoke, and the children\u2019s\nhealth will be damaged. As a parent, they should take good care of their\nchildren\u2019s health but not damage their health. Also, it is unfair to the\nchildren as their health is affected with no choice. Therefore, I think smokers\nshould be forced to quit smoking if they become parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second,\nas a parent, it is the responsibility to be a good model for the children. For\nchildren, their parents are their role model. They will follow what their\nparents do easily, although they do not intend to follow. Children are shaped\nby adults around them and parents can affect children easily, so parents should\nnot do erroneous habits before children. Moreover, in common sense, everyone\nknows that smoking is not a favorable habit. Therefore, parents should not\nsmoke in front of children. Thence, I think smokers should be forced to quit\nsmoking when they become parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Third, parents smoke may\naffect children\u2019s childhood a lot. Every child likes to have a wonderful and\nmemorable childhood, and to create a childhood like that, parents are\nindispensable. Parents are the one who accompany children the most when they\nare young, they are the one who children enjoy the childhood with. Parents are\nthe most important part of the children\u2019s childhood. However, parents smoking\nmay destroy all these dreams. Parents will lose their health and cannot stay\nwith their children. In addition, children may also leave bad memories. For\nexample, children\u2019s classmates may bully them just because they have some bad\nsmell, the smell of smoke, on their bodies and clothes. This must be a trauma\nto them. These are not beneficial to the children\u2019s childhood. Therefore, I\nthink smokers should be forced to quit smoking when they become parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To sum up, it is not worthy\nfor smokers to keep this habit when they become parents. Maybe some people will\nthink that it is the freedom of smokers to choose whether to quit smoking or\nnot, but I think, to be a responsible parent, and be fair to the children, we should learn to care for\nthe children. Therefore, I think smokers who become parents should be forced to\nquit smoking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- wp:paragraph --><p>Manpeople have different opinions on whether smokers who become parents should bforced to quit smoking.
