When I was in elementary school, we had the DARE program at school and we were taught a lot of anti-smoking lessons. Therefore, I assumed that because the teachers said that smoking was bad--that meant that no teachers smoked. I was devasted to find out later that my friend's mom (who was a teacher at my elementary school) smoked regularly.
