Unfortunately, we don't get to mix and match parental attributes out of the Sears catalog when choosing our parents. Heck, most of us don't even get to choose our parents in the first place! With that in mind, I'd say that chainsmoking parents are far from ideal, but that there are a lot of far worse possibilities.
The "It's not my choice to deal with the smoke" attitude is pretty prominent now. Society is pushing smoking out of all the public places, and I'm sure family pressure pushes it out of all the private ones. I think it is pretty amusing, in a way. I figure tobacco will finally be outlawed in the U.S. about the same day that marijuana gets the green light.
