MOSS BLASTED FOR SMOKING NEAR DAUGHTER
KATE MOSS has come under fire from anti-smoking campaigners after she and pop star LILY ALLEN were spotted enjoying a cigarette in front of her young daughter.
Moss was photographed smoking and passing a rolled-up cigarette to the pop star as they sat next to the supermodel's six-year-old daughter Lila Grace during an outing on a yacht in St. Tropez in the French Riviera on Sunday (09Aug09).
But experts have blasted Moss for failing to consider the harmful effects her habit could have on the youngster.
A spokesperson for the Drugs Destroy Lives charity says, "They make no effort to shield the child from the smoke. This will affect how she feels about cigarettes as she grows up. In most cases, children will think, 'If mum does it, it must be okay.'"

Those anti-smoking groups are really loosing all sense of normal rational
behaviour and thinking

Good gracious. Smoking is legal at age 18. Contrary to the brainwashing
propaganda of the anti-smokers, smoking was, is, and will continue to be a
normal activity that adults choose to engage in. There is nothing to be
ashamed about and it need not be hidden. Any direction on the matter is the
parent's alone to give. And when their child reaches 18 themselves they can
make their own decision. Parenthetically, the hysterics of the anti-smokers can
only lead me to believe that they must believe that their non-stop anti-smoking
messages and indoctrination methods (how many lectures in schools?) has no
effect at all. I mean, they must believe that all of their work cannot stand
up to anything to the contrary. So what is it's worth?
As for exposure to cigarette smoke -- outdoors yet -- there is no science-based
evidence that it poses a risk to anyone. The kiddies are no more harmed than
if they attended a barbeque.
