Health of the Children
[18] Ms. Yeung testified that the children have complained about Mr. Yeung's smoking on his access visits. It was evident from Mr. Yeung's person and the papers he presented to the Court that he is a very heavy smoker. He testified that he will give up smoking if awarded custody of the children. I take this as recognition that his smoking may affect the children’s health.
