Wonder how much or what they were given to carry out this demonstration? Having warnings yes, but coming out of some cave to suddenly do this? :))

Anton, this is not child abuse. I quit smoking because my son is so dead against it even without anyones influence. this is an 8 year old. Even if they are doing this with pressure of someone from behind its still worth it and they too learn something. dont they?
