well if the kids of smokers were to be taken away then shouldn't all kids be put in to care, after all, all adults are truly bad role models.
This is not even considering the financial impact that such an addiction has, and once your children have grown up, they then get the increased chance of having to take care of an ailing parent who has emphysema, heart problems or cancer. Considering the myriad of problems the nicotine addiction inflicts upon the children of those addicted to this legal drug, it most certainly SHOULD be considered grounds for finding such parents as unfit to raise children... So what's more important, your kids or your habit?

There's nothing worse than watching someone who was extremely active in their youth, now having to be confined to a wheel chair and oxygen tank. Yep, painful to see.
Children of parents who smoke are more likely to smoke themselves when they are older. They see there parents doing it, so they think it's an acceptable thing to do. I've seen it with quite a lot of my friends.

Comparing illegal drugs to cigarettes is laughable at best.
There's only one difference. One is legal and the other is not.
