Doctors, pffft. What do they know?

I think he was talking back in the days when parents would catch their children smoking they would lock them in a closet and make them smoke a pack of cigs. It would get so bad they would never want to smoke again. I heard about that but never knew anyone who did this or had it done to them.

Yeah that's exactly what I'm saying. Any parent taking that approach should be strung up by their toenails or shot, because it flies in the face of medical science.

Smoke a lot of cigarettes = addiction. Make your kid smoke a pack to gross them out? You're actually just getting them addicted. It's a retarded approach that hopefully stays "back in the day" where it belongs.

Maybe Dirtbag was being sarcastic. Hopefully.

Don't worry it was. Personally one of the dumbest decisions I ever made was smoking Cigarettes for around 11 months when I was 17. I guess I lucked out since the addiction gene doesn't really run in my family.
