I am going to go with demented reality in that I would not hire a teenager who smoked to watch my kids. Not because smoking is stupid or irresponsible though.
Instead my objection is that kids smoke because they want to challange authority. Smoking is a sign of rebelling about not wanting to be a cog is society. In my babysitter I want someone who is okay with parental authority. Therefore on those grounds I would reject smoking teenagers as babysitters for my kids.
