“But yeah, second-hand smoke is dangerous, therefore parents who smoke are irresponsible. Itâ€™s different than being overweight; to my knowledge, no kid ever got asthma etc, just from being around a fat parent.”

ermmm yeah sure no harms ever come from a fat parent except you know a fucking fat kid mnot being harsh or anything but the fatter the parent the more chance of teh kid being fat its been scientifically proven

im still a teenager and i smoke infront of my brother and sister (young ones ) and not out of choice but they follow me out to my garden and they constantly are picking up my lighters and stuff

its what kids do

@ Jessica .. picking up a pack is one thing .. but picking up butts? That’s just gross! Why is there a full ashtray laying around anyways?

honestly…i don’t agree with the smoking around her kid. but it’s not like she gave the cigarettes to him to play with. he picked them up ans she took them away. same with the lighter :/ but, this is just normal crap that happens now and then. i mean, back before anyone knew any better my mom smoked around me, and i have, more than once, seen a pack of cigs on the table nearby. i don’t remember actively playing with them..but… just saying, this photo looks much worse than it is. everyone’s waiting for her to royally mess up, and she needs to be given to space to not be absolutely perfect. the kid picked up the box and she took it away. enough said. but put the cigarette out britney

I agree at least she is being responsible and trying to get them back. I mean she could have just given him the lighter too.

Beet, aren’t you still a smoker? And you’ve talked about adopting–are you going to quit before you adopt? You could easily find yourself in this same situation, minus the paparazzi cameras.

And Dark Empress, I agree with you, but pipe down! You know all caps means shouting, right? Plus it’s hard to read. I actually thought you said “Every time I see a parent do this I want to vomit and sometimes I actually do.” That’d be a hell of an incentive to stop smoking, so you don’t get vomited on by some well-meaning stranger.

But yeah, second-hand smoke is dangerous, therefore parents who smoke are irresponsible. It’s different than being overweight; to my knowledge, no kid ever got asthma etc, just from being around a fat parent.

“EVERY TIME I SEE A PARENT DO THIS I WANT TO VOMIT AND SOMETIMES I ACTUALLY DO TRY TO TELL THEM IN CASE THEY DO NOT KNOW.” As a smoker, I would like to say thank you to all the members of the Unsolicited Advice Brigade. Next is it going to become PC to walk up to someone who is overweight while they’re eating and tell them how unhealthy they are?

Yeah, that really had nothing to do with Britney. Sorry :)

Toddlers are learning by exploring, that is their job. A parents job is to keep things like this out of reach. Duh.

She’s getting the cigs OFF Sean after he’s picked them up! To all the smoking parents out there…u sure ur kids never picked up ur packet (EVER)?! She’s in the ‘privacy’ of her own home, what she does there is HER business! And its not like she’s beaten her kid or whatever! He’s picked up something to have a look! Kids are curious!

Of course it is normal for toddlers to pick up everything they see. That’s why, if you HAVE a toddler, you don’t keep things in their reach that aren’t safe for them to play with.

It’s very simple.

Before I quit smoking I always went outside away from my son. You know what happens? They folow you. By the looks of the photo she is outside having a smoke. Looks like someone was curiouse and followed her. I hardly think he is the first toddler in the world to do that. It is really just so ignorant to belittle her for something so common. Its not like she is in the car windows up smoking while he plays with the pack. She is outside which is what is recommended. If you must smoke take it outside. I think she is doing a great job. She has come so far in the last year.

Give her a break!! My son takes the but from the ashtray and tries to smoke. No matter what you do, children are always going to get their hands on stuff no matter if it is good or bad for them. I used to do the same thing as a child.
Everyone is way too hard on her these days.
