It sounds like to me that you were coddled. May be you came from a family of non-smokers or drinkers. However, in those households that did, they saw value in not just telling their children to not smoke or drink. They allowed a single experience, that wouldn’t hurt them, to show why instead.
You poor thing, please buy a good dictionary; you obviously have no idea what the meaning of the word “coddled” means. LOL
