Just hypothetically speaking, if I was a casual smoker, having the odd one if I'm out drinking or something. And you saw that, it wouldn't be fair to pull your child out of care just because. But at the same time, I would never place my child in a dayhome/daycare if I knew that person smokes regularly, in front of children, in the home, etc etc. If they never smelt of it, and I had no idea, and the kids were none the wiser, then it's a different story.
I totally agree. I'm not a drinker or smoker. Never even tried anything. (Sure hope my kids --when they are born--choose the same!)
