It's ridiculous. Why not just hide the purse or just try a bit harder to stop him from doing it. Some parents give up too easily and then wonder why their children get into the kind of life some of them do. I've only ever tried it a couple of times, but after witnessing my nan die of lung cancer which eventually spread to her brain, I vowed never to smoke as I knew that it was her smoking that caused her death.
