Okay. So, I'm sure you've all seen the recent pictures of Britney smoking in the own privacy (right..) of her back yard with her son Sean watching her and attempting to reach for her lighter. He also managed to grab her box of cigarettes in curiousity, as with any child that age would do. Thankfully, more pictures surfaced showing Britney taking the items away from his hands.
Look, I'm not defending Britney's LITTLE mistake at all. Nor do I intend to judge her for doing so. My parents, as well as many other families of other ethnic backgrounds, grew up in a different generation than ours. They (along with my other aunts and uncles) used to smoke in front of me all the time. Horrible decision on their part, but hey-- they're all natives of the Philippines and believe me, it isn't uncommon for children to see adults smoking in their faces. Some countries don't even have the 18/21+ age limit in order for you to buy cigarettes & alcohol.
Parents would even send their own children out to buy it for them!
My whole point of this article? Humans are supposed to make mistakes. How else would they learn from them? And, hasn't the world already thrown enough stones at Britney? We've seen her at the lowest point of her life late last year & early this year.
Frankly, I'd take this story over her being rushed to the hospital on a gurney any day.
Grow up people. There are worst things going on in this world.

Heart attacks are less likely for non-smokers as compared to the smokers. According to WHO, individuals who quit smoking decrease their risk of CAD one year later by 50 %. If you have quit smoking, for 15 years, your risk of dying from CAD is almost as low as a life time non-smoker. http://www.chantixhome.com/
