Chocolate may cause teeth to rot, ONLY if you don't take care of your teeth properly.
I myself am a fan of chocolate, and I eat quite a lot. Chocolate icecream, KitKat, Snickers, Mars, Hersheys and other ones I can't remember.
Despite this, my teeth are healthy and clean. I've never had to get a tooth pulled out because of decay. And thats because I take care of my teeth.
(Flossing, brushing, mouthwash, going to scheduled clean up appointments etc. etc.)
If the kids, or if the parents make sure the kids take care of their teeth, I'm sure their teeth will be fine.
That doesn't work the same way for smoking though. Its non-reversible.
The more you smoke, the more you're at risk for cancer.
I'd rather relieve my stress by confiding in my children, friends or family rather than confiding in something that'll kill me soon.
Don't forget there are other ways of 'relaxation' you can get for $7 - $12.
