Then came recess after lunch. About three quarters of the class on the playground snuck or rather simply walked down a small hill and down to the creek bank where recess was spent smoking cigarettes {likely their parents}. I didn't smoke till about maybe 10th grade then off and on for the next 10 years. Mostly off though.
Then there was the large family across the road with kids as young as 6 sneaking a smoke. The older ones about 13-14 didn't bother too sneak.
