It bothered me horribly his parents would do this
Babs. Do you know this kid ? Do you know his parents ? Do you know he's not making this up ? I wouldn't lose sleep over it until finding out whether or not it's true. Who knows, it might've happened once, might never have happened, or there's likely more too it.
Yes, I think it's strange, but I've learned that things aren't always as presented in certain contexts. The kid wanted to smoke and he might've assumed this was a means that he could get around your "parenting speech".
