Answers:
the more attention you give him about it the more he is going to do it trust me i have 2 kids and have been working in daycare for about 4 years just let it pass don't make a big deal out of it. if that don't work when you see him do it say thats not nice or i don't like that. good luck

To me, he is at the most impressionable age. I can't tell you the (rather dumb, nasty, stupid) things I did when I was that age, not because I saw people doing them at home, but because I saw them on television.

Remember at this age, they want to BE everything. . .a cowboy, an astronaut, etc. He's just playing. It's fine.

Have a talk with him about how smoking is bad. I remember back in kindergarten when kids pretended to do that... I think it's a phase - they want to be older. Just explain to him what smoking really is, and what it can do to you.
