[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 479211, member: 59"] TL just about everyone in the treatment center difficult child was in smoked. Cigarettes do not alter the mind. They may be addictive but so is sugar and lipgloss and any number of other things people use in excess. Cigarettes are harmful to our bodies but you are right, they don't cause the harm that mind altering drugs and substances do. I think if you took away the residents cigarettes in the treatment center the beds would be empty and they center would fold. I never heard of anyone suggesting they give up smoking while going through rehab. AA/NA meetings are filled with smokers. He would never survive. It's like putting an alcoholic in a bar. I think you are doing the right thing, you are taking one step at a time and you are keeping his sobriety as the main focus. Whatever helps that should be paramount. Nancy [/QUOTE]
