I smoke so she should 2 I'm 23
Should I let my daughter smoke?
I am a smoker (20+ years), but have been tapering the habit down. I managed to quit when I was in boot camp; however, I don't recall why I picked up the habit again. I still wished that I haven't picked up this habit at all.
All I can say is to educate your daughter (s) of the dangers behind smoking and let them know the addictive habit can be quite expensive (prices varies on the brand and location). Show her some of that "Truth" videos that are against smoking.
If her desire to smoke is strong enough to feed her curiosity or if she's being peer pressured, your daughter will smoke. It doesn't matter how many times you'll lecture her in the matter.
A few friends told me their parents offered them a stick to smoke when they were curious about smoking. They told me that first try was disgusting and never picked up the habit. Others were conditioned harshly, when their parents bought a pack and forced them to finish the entire pack within XX hours when they got caught. I guess the punishment caused such an impact that they haven't picked up the habit.
I'm a parent, I'm not the greatest and smartest dad, but every parent out there does shit differently. All we can do is teach and guide them; sit back and hope that they'll make the right decisions on their own. Just don't be financing her bad habit.

This is a tough call. You can't demand they don't do it and you can't just let them do it. I used to know this girl. The sweetest, most adorable girl clean, innocent and the kind of person who would never smoke or date someone who does. She was my girlfriend years back. Her parents let her smoke and years down the road she became a trashy girl with burn marks all over her cloths. she looked unkempt.
Those are the types of people that smoke these days. It's not cool anymore like it was years ago and unless you're doing it without any influence from other kids, only losers smoke cigarette's!
You have to make her see what she's gonna look like and convince her that's not how she wants to be. It's gonna take some very creative, intelligent parenting because a simple yes/no or discussion isn't going to do anything but make it worse than if you just ignore her. She's just gonna feel annoyed, like you haven't lived through what she's going through already. Kids don't understand how much more hardcore their parents are then them simply because of the time they grew up.
They think they know everything and they have every reason to so far as they know. Kids aren't stupid, the world just takes a while to learn. so you need to help them pick up on this themselves.
Smoke weed or cigarettes? If she's still under 18, tell her to buy her own cigs by herself. For weed, tell her it's too expensive to get, so only smoke with friends so she won't have to pay for it.

First of all you're under 18 so your kid shouldn't even be that old.
Second of all... Hell no!

Well you shouldn't give her permission. But I'm sure she will just do it anyway.

if she's of legal age she can do whatever she wants right.

Not if she's under 18.
Forget the law.
The addictiveness in teens is far higher than adults. Tell her to wait and smoke when she's older if she wants. -
Are you talking about smoking penis? Since you did post this under Sexual Behavior and all...
-
Hell no. She'll spend years unsuccessfully trying to quit later on
-
You're 23 and have multiple daughters? You shouldn't let them smoke. They can when they're 18 and aren't living with you.

No. At best, get her on an e-cig. At least she won't get cancer.
