Although you may find it hypocritical, you could still keep your kids away from smoking even if you can’t kick the habit yourself. The point is in the approach.

It may not work just to simply tell them not to smoke– it may take a bit more than that.

Don’t feel guilty about your smoking and avoid talking to your children about it. You need to find a tactic because your children are at high risk of taking up the habit themselves.

It would give you more credibility if you spoke from the experience of becoming addicted to nicotine and point out your reluctance to smoking today. You could also stress the inability of kicking the dirty old habit and talk about what it means and feels like to be addicted.
You could also avoid leaving dirty ashtrays around the house and avoid sending your children to get you packs from the stores.
