Another argument to give your tween a smartphone is that they need to learn how to use it, to develop a healthy relationship with it, to understand the pros/cons, to understand how to use it effectively. Abstinence will just make them envious and less likely to think through the consequences.

Another argument for buying your teenager cigarettes...

These are very poor arguments for smoking cigarettes, but sure...
