I work at a small grocery store.
One day this couple, with a small 7-8 year old boy comes through my check out line. Obviously rather poor (not trying to be mean, but they were rather grungy). They put the food on the belt, and the child says "We can have dinner tonight mommy!" in a very happy, inocent child-like way.
After they pay for the food with food stamps, the woman takes out the few dollars in her wallet, and buys ciggarettes.
Now, I think smoking is a bad habit, but when it harms your child, it's just completely fucked. Just something to think about, if a bit off topic.

Thats sad Poor kid. They should obviously be spending their money on essentials, not items that arent necessary. Yeah, their smoking is bad for their kid's health too. I remember when i was young i really couldnt take the smell of smoke.
