Did you know that your kids can easily buy tobacco over the net? This is a bigger issue than I was aware of. I recently saw some articles on the net about kids as young as 11 purchasing tobacco over the net. Online tobacco shops do not have to go out of their way to “verify” someones age. They can get away with a simple disclaimer. Remember the days when kids could get cigarettes from the old vending machines. Well it is the same sort of thing here except with vending the responsibility fell in the hands of the establishment where the machine resided. On the net, the ultimate responsibility lies in the hands of the parents. Good education, values, and supervision can make the difference. So get started today and get involved in what your children do online.
