The guy is in Fallujah putting his life on the line every single minute. Each smoke could be his last. If that is how he handles the stress more power to him.
I, for one, would be glad to send cigarettes over there. It is the least I can do.
As for the teens---I do not need a village to raise my children. I do not need a village to shape my child's behavior by controlling the behavior and habits of others.
I would tell my sons smoking will kill you, but so will a bullet. He is a grown man and knows the risks. It is his life, his deccision and the consequences are his alone.
Not a flame. Just my personal opinion.
