My kid got hold of my Dragun.

I am with @LadySnuff. I must get some dragun. If a two year old can take the chili in it then I can too.

These are all good stories

One of my earliest childhood memories was the wonder of smelling my grandpa’s pipes and humidor or pouch of tobacco. Somehwere lost in an old family photo album is a photo of me at age 3, wearing my Grandpa’s hat with one of his pipes held jauntily between my teeth. And who says kids learn to use tobacco from the adults around them? Poppycock.

Actually, the scent of snuffs would be a magical thing for any child, and it’s not surprising that they want to smell each new, exotic powder that Mommy or Daddy gets in the mail.

Not wanting to get preachy here, but I believe that children have gotten very sick from taking tobacco. Please store your stash responsibly.

I will do the preaching then. Exposure to nicotine may be addictive. The younger you are when exposed the more addicted you may become. Yes, surely there are many other factors involved such as amounts and frequencies but the point is that age is also a factor that should not be neglected.

As funny as this situation was, you are both right of course. This is why I moved my snuff to a more inaccessable location. Reminds me of a story about my grandfather and mother as a child. He chewed plugs. One day my mother when she was small snuck one out of his dresser and took a nice big bite. Needless to say she never did that again, lol.

These stories are wonderful. I’m not trying to contradict anyone, but kids will be kids, they are gonna monkey around and steal your snuff once their curiosity reaches a certain point. Chances are they will get the snuff in their throat and cough up a storm, refusing to ever try that stuff again. It is still somthing you shouldn’t allow them to try until they are of legal age.

It’s all about balance in your outlook. Fact kids are highily sensitive and influnceable (is that a real word?) you can mess them up good. The other side is that kids are kids they’re going to get into trouble no matter how hard you try to stop it, they’re more intelligent then they seem, they’re extremeily tough in certain ways. You owe them your best shot but at the same time they’re kids they need some freedom to make some mistake and for you to make some mistakes too cause that’s unavoidable. I’am saying kids are actualy pretty complicated and if you don’t do anything horrible to them and give it your best shot they’ll probably turn out o.k… Though I’am never having kids cause I’am afraid they’ll be like I was. Totaly sweet, kind, and utterly insane and psychotically into pyromania. I think I now know why my parents are insane. When I was a toddler I used to do things like run down any railings on steps that were wide enough for my feet (it wasn’t till I was six that I got a healthy fear of heights), and I had a nose for were people hide their matches (and the idea of unreachable = challenge for fun). So cheers enjoy your kids take care of them and just be glad they’re not like I was. :slight_smile:

Oh the nostalgia :slight_smile:
