In Israel, boys and girls as young as ten, “openly” smoke more than the children in America. That is because there are no consequences for the children smoking in Israel, as there are in America. Whenever I’m in Israel, and I see a kid smoking a cigarette, I snatch it out of his/her mouth. At that age, giving them a pep talk isn’t enough to get their attention. Blatantly taking control of the situation is the only way to at least make some kind of dent.
