Jamie Lynn: Where There's Smoke, There's Father

You really should avoid smoking around children, since the effect of second-hand smoke is much worse in them (especially the very young ones, immature lungs, smaller bodies, etc.). They are likely to have many more respiratory illnesses if exposed to frequent ciggie smoke and of course there is the danger of asthma developing. A coworker had to quit smoking because his kid started having asthma attacks from it. The poor guy tried to do it cold turkey and was quite miserable. Didn't help that the day he quit, he leaned back in his chair in the lab and fell over backward.... But he managed! Nicotine is extremely physically addictive (much more than heroin), which is why it's so hard to quit for at least 80% of smokers (if you hear somebody has quit with no trouble cold turkey, it's because they were in the lucky non-addicted group).

It's relatively rare for people to pick up the habit beyond their young and stupid years, though, being more aware of the drain on the budget as well as the effect on the old bod. My mother gave up smoking by substituting another "vice" - gambling! She spent the same amount of money she had spent on smokes to play lotteries and enter raffles etc., and had a lot of fun with it. She was a pretty light smoker, just one or two ciggies per day, although as a snarky kid I once caught some of her smoke in a mason jar and kept it in my room for a couple of weeks (it stayed suspended in the jar) and then snarkily released it under her nose....

However, there's no evidence from this photo that the dad is blowing smoke into his kid's lungs. He probably doesn't smoke indoors around the kiddo, by now a lot of people know not to do that. Outdoors, you can direct the smoke away from other people much more easily and it will dissipate usually. I just push smokers out onto the porch myself, no matter what the weather, since I cough badly for 15 minutes or more from a single exposure.

Casey gots the cigarette but JL is smokin!

BFD, Don't you have anything else to write about. YOU ACT AS IF HE IS PREGNANT AND HAS A NEDDLE IN HIS ARM......

For the person who commented that she's no longer a teen. For your information, she is still a teen even at nineteen smarty.

He should visit ecigaretteportal.com it would be much safer for the baby!

There is no need to say "unwed teen mother." That's just ridiculous. Get over it TMZ!!! There are a lot of parents that smoke around there kids, latinos, african americans, asians, caucasians. TO EACH THERE OWN!

Absolute mental illness. Smoking in front of a child.

And the police in McComb will do nothing even though there's a photograph of child abuse here...

You can't smoke in public places, hospitals, restaurants, inside cars with children, BUT you can put dangerous second-hand cigarette smoke into an infant's lungs.

VERY GOOD Casey Aldridge ! What a considerate, doting father you must be.
And, CONGRATULATIONS Jamie Lynn Spears ! You must be such a caring & careful mother so terribly concerned for your child's health and well-being.

Hey, at least you got money for when the kid starts the regular visits to hospitals...

Who cares about fresh air when you can so efficiently spoil it with cancer clouds meant especially for your little baby !

Yes, cancer, you sickos...
