It reminds me of those old fake cigarettes I used to buy as a kid that were gum. Did you ever get those?
I do think these kinds of things help form much healthier habits than shunning and hiding.

Oh yeah. I loved that gum. You could blow through them and a cloud of powdered sugar would shoot out as if it were smoke. The gum was terrible, but it was so fun to pretend I was a tough guy smoking on the corner.
I think more than anything, modeling a proper relationship with substances is the best way to promote healthy relationships in your children. I can from a pretty backwards family when it comes to that, though, so I don’t know.
Yep - that's the one. And I'd say you're spot on about that. Kids at a young age especially want to do what we are doing. When my daughter and son are teenagers and rebelling, maybe that is when I'll be a drunk in front of them, haha.
That’s when we’ll be wanting to do what they’re doing;)
