My daughter wouldn't touch me (literally) for at least an evening once she found out that I used to smoke cigarettes. I know it will all change though, because my half-brother was just the same - used to lecture me at the age of five when I was a rebellious teen and smoking out in the garden. Now in his twenties, he's finally admitted shamefaced that he smokes. I know - it’s all so very pious.
