School days have started and the morning drive to work finally got super busy again. I kinda missed those half empty roads at 7 in the morning. But after seeing all those school children so excited to start their first day at school, I think it was not that bad. The road congestion of course can be avoided with strong will power to wake up and start moving literally earlier than usual. I am just thankful that I don’t normally have to rush to work due to the flexibility of being a freelance dive instructor.
Anyway, I have this habit of observing others especially while trapped in a jam. It is very interesting for me to see how many things a people can do while seating in their car during the jam. Some may be seen sending text from their hi-tech mobile phone. Some even try to catch up loss time by taking breakfast in their car. Most will just sit tight and listen to their music or doing some reading. Most would probably be smoking in their car as well.
Talking about smoking in the car, I did noticed one car with 2 children and a lady whom I guess is their mother. A normal sight of parents sending their kids to school. However, something was really wrong after I saw smokes coming out of the car. Being such nosy dude, I made a closer look and to my surprised the lady was smoking, while the 2 kids are in the car! Such an unthinkable action by the lady made me decided to write this post.
What was she thinking? To make things worst, I begun to spot more adults who simply light up in their car while having children in as well. Again, what in the world were they thinking? I myself is a smoker but smoking while having children around especially in a confined space like car is totally wrong! Maybe they want the children to follow their smoking habit at a very tender age. Maybe they only have less than quarter of their brain working. Maybe the brain doesn’t work at all. Some even spotted smoking while holding their babies in their arms! How outrageous.
I don’t think there is need to explain about how smoking affects children as we all know that already. I just want to know are these smoking adults realize how their actions may effect on the children. Or are they just being ignorant. Guys, send me a comment or two about this issue or anything you wish to share with me.
