A 10 year old kid brought in by parents for routine check up .while parents r waiting outside . the doctors conversation with the kid reveals that he smokes. On asking the kid as to where he gets the cigerets from he answers that he gets it out of the fathers pocket . On hearing this what the doctor should advise the patient.
1) tell him about lung cancer & diseases he can get.
2)send the kid for smoking counseling .
3) send the parents for counseling
4) tell the kid not to do it again.

I thought the ans was 2 i would like to know if it is correct :?:

I would have picked 2 too. but maybe this is a special situation because hes only ten years old, and the major problems are the parents who are smoking and they need counseling. the kid is just trying to be like his father. maybe...

I thinik so too that parents need couselling.....telling them on how their smoking habit is affecting their child and if they wish to continue smoking then make sure the cigarettes aren't within reach of their child.1) and 2) are more for adults.
