Britney Spears' parenting skills have come under fire yet again after photographs emerged showing the star smoking in front of her son as he plays with a packet of cigarettes.
The singer, branded 'Puff Mommy' by the American press, eventually takes the Marlboro Lights and a lighter from the two-year-old's hands, but continues to subject him to second-hand smoke.

She is what she always was...
“...but continues to subject him to second-hand smoke”(!!!)
Somebody DO something. The kids are seeing her SMOKE!
Sex, drugs, no big whoop, but SMOKING!!!! < /s >
I remember driving cross-country in the “wayback” of the Catalina (sans seatbelt) as mom and dad smoked in front with all the windows closed.
Should I sue?
Woopdee doo... Was he smoking them? Jeesh...the mountains these lame press make out of all the stupid mole hills, is pretty lame. And personally, who cares what Brittany does, really?
well, her hair has grown back alright...
How does the photographer get such a good shot? She has to be fully aware that her every move is being photographed.
I can’t tell from the photos. Let me know the next time they have a shot of her getting out of a car.
wow, the smoking nazis are now attacking spears.
(for those in rio linda, people with no life trying to feel better.)
“If this reminds you of your home life, only better decorated...”

“...you might be a redneck.”
OMG call the freaking CPS .... my son has only picked up my pack several times. Good Lord these people are so scared of ANYTHING that might be a risk. Pathetic.
Just say they are marijuana cigarettes, and all will be forgiven.
Yeah no kidding.. with all the things wrong with hollyweird types, they seem to LOVE to focus on “Evil Smoking” lol
OH MY GOSH.. a CHILD touched a pack of “evil cigarettes”.. lol how silly we have become as a society.
Man oh man, these liberals need to get a life.
So the kid picked up the pack. It appears she was attempting to remove them from the kid.
What concerns me the most is the “VOYERISM” that is taking place with these paparazzi invading her privacy.
I think it’s kinda filthy of a person to sit at a distance with a camera looking for the money shot.
It is photographer who needs to be sitting in jail.
I don’t think the kid should be playing with a lighter but then now they are “childproof” and I can’t even get a disposable lighter to hold a flame.
Of course if you have a Zippo...
Now if the Nannies in the media really want to get their panties in a knot...what about that extension cord snaking infront of the step? Hmmm? Could be a nasty fall with the need for stitches...
Imagine if the paparazzi spent as much time photographing politicians? Like Chris Dodd and Ted Kennedy’s waitress “sandwich”?
McCartney lost his cigarette on the Abbey Road cover.
Get a rope!
Ultra zoom lens?
Britney is featured in McCain’s new ad.
No joke lol...

I doubt she buys her underwear from Walmart.
Sheesh. No privacy in her own backyard. Leave Britney alone!
She clearly has mental health issues and the press continues to torment her.
I think they want to push her over the edge just so they can talk about her death and funeral for a year.
Just disgusting.
At least the diet is working..... somewhat.

At more than 20K a month, you’d hope. I think I read earlier this week that she is laying down that amount of coin to get herself back in shape.
Shoot, no big deal. When I was that kid’s age, my father would send me to the refrigerator to get him a beer...and look how I turned out...er, never mind.
How the heck did they get these shots? I would be pissed about the clear privacy invasion. I assume this is her back porch or something....gezz, let her be.
That said, what is that mark just above her watch?
I agree. This invasion of privacy is bullcrap, and pushing to kill someone for newsprint is beyond the pale.
Brit's looking pretty hot nowadays, BTW.
Me too, “go get me a beer son”. I used to go to the store to get cigarettes for my parents as well.
My dad always said "more money doesn't change you - it makes you more of what you already are."
I agree!!!
They're outside in the open air, for pity's sake. I don't see her blowing smoke in his face. The kid isn't subjected to anything...other than having her for his mother and Federline for his father, which are far more harmful factors than "second-hand smoke".
I must say that she is looking better that the last time she was dressed in so little and caught on camera...
She's a singer for goodness sakes. She doesn't pretend to be a moral authority, she's not a politician, and she doesn't even seem to be a mean person. Why all the hate?
(for those in rio linda, people with no life trying to make us feel as miserable as them better.)
go get me a beer son. Exactly.
Then, one day he said “and bring yourself a glass.”
Totally agree!! Smoking is a completely legal thing and millions of moms do it everyday in front of there children. The second picture looks like she is reaching to take them away from him.
She is at least trying to overcome her situation and I hope and pray she does. She has come a long way already in trying getting her life in order and while maybe it is poor judgement to smoke in front of your children, it isn’t a crime... At least in all states...

She's more than alot of people. She worked since she was a child, became a big money maker and supported/supports her children, her husband and her family. And she's cute.
Well, at least he isn’t draped with raw meat and dismembered doll parts.
cigarettes are perfect little building block logs.
If you look closer, you’ll see the child has the lighter in his hands also.
