"If I add one and one I get two - exposing kids to smoke will prevent futre maladies (thus exposing kids to smoke is beneficial)."

Correct. A little smoke. As in second hand smoke. You said I wanted kids to smoke. That is incorrect.

sheesh..this isn't rocket science. Why is it so difficult for you to understand?

Ok. I got a little carried away with your teasing. I submit a correction. You believe that exposing kids to second-hand smoke is beneficial to them. However, it can be said that exposing them to this environment makes them more likely to smoke (at least thats what the tobacco companies believe) thus kids raised to believe that their are benefits to smoking are more likely to smoke thus it can be inferred that wanting kids exposed to second hand smoke means you also want them to smoke since if you did not want them to smoke, you would not want to expose them to that environment.
