Good, my kids will be safe then, because between soccer practices and soccer games they don't have TIME to go out with any friends anyway and get into all that stuff...

I believe that absolutely... most of the kids who didn't smoke when I was growing up were also ones that were very involved in sports and other activities. Not an absolute. But remarkable nontheless.
