Actually, young kids don't. They see cartoon characters walk away from smoking

that as a kid, I, and everyone I knew assumed that if you were shot, you were
automatically dead. Surviving being shot would fall in the "very unlikely
miracle" department. That's the way it always was in the movies.

When you were a kid, did you ever see someone killed in front of you?

Unfortunately, I did.

They do if their parents are around to explain it.

Well, clearly you were traumatized and it shows.
