No one in our family smokes, and we've talked about why- including (in very basic terms) what smoking can do to your body. They seem to get that it's bad for you and that they should never do it. What's hard to explain is why people choose to do it even though it's so bad for them. Hopefully they've got enough information now and we can go into more detail at a later date.Renaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08318311170413043717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-57567901443722024792011-11-08T16:33:26.432-07:002011-11-08T16:33:26.432-07:00I've never read the books, I don't think t...I've never read the books, I don't think they were popular down here but I'd added them to my 'future babies' book list. <br />I love reading books from different eras/generations and being absorbed in both their language and they presentation of every day family life.. as a kid I loved all the 'Magic Faraway Tree' books where the girls helped Mum in the kitchen and the boys helped Dad outside, there was no TV and no stranger danger. <br />I'm sure not many books today would mention parents smoking, but at least Ramona and her sister were against it and it was a good way for you to bring it up! I wouldn't be able to read it to little ones without adding my two cents either!Kate Sparkleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02168334536598675361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-63770197466181944532011-11-08T15:55:55.977-07:002011-11-08T15:55:55.977-07:00The books have been a lot of fun to read.

I think it only encouraged my desire to have nothing to do with smoking. <br /><br />We need to start reading the Ramona books!MaryAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13253503049272771754noreply@blogger.com
