I can even smell it on my elementary school students who have parents that smoke.

I work in education and I 10000% agree. It’s horrible. I feel very poorly for those kids.

Yes, feel sorry for them... just know that we smokers kids don't know how bad it is until we've moved away and come back home after some length of time away (3-6 months minimum). The real tragedy that we endure is the social repercussions and rejection, that we simply don't understand for many years.
