“Kids are basically little learning machines."

Researchers find that kids tend to mimic their parents' smoking and drinking choices as well as their trashier comments:

"A 4-year-old girl chose Barbie-sized tobacco in the pretend store and said: “I need this for my man. A man needs cigarettes.”

A 6-year-old boy offered the doll cigarettes and said: “Honey, have some smokes. Do you like smokes? I like smokes.”"
