My aunt was a heavy smoker for a period in the late 60s, early 70s. When I was a kid, she told me about how she smoked 3 packs a day until one day, she "quit cold turkey." I felt my family had a personal stake in this, since we always invited her over for Thanksgiving. I gave myself a little pat on the back for our collective efforts.
When I was younger my father told me that if I picked my nose my nostril would stretch to accommodate the size of my finger.
Lord knows I didn't want big holes in my nose so I stopped picking my nose.
When my daughter was 3 I told her that when kids got to big for pacifiers they started tasting bad. About 1 week later I painted every one of her pacifiers with that horrible tasting thumb sucking stuff. She walked around holding a pacifier for about two weeks, but didn't suck it. She believed she had become a big girl when they all tasted bad. She believed this until she was about nine.

I used to think that when you smoked pot that you actually smoked from a pot.

I used to believe that when you bit your fingernails a hand would grow in your stomach. And that when you ate the seed of a fruit that fruit would grow in your stomach. Needless to say, I didn't eat much fruit OR bite my fingernails!
On the bus in elementary school there was a boy picking his nose. I started yelling how gross it was (especially since he ate it) when he argued back that boogers were made of sugar. I argued it was dirt and other gross stuff but he honestly believed they were sugar and ate them like candy.
I used to believe that if I bit my finger nails, a hand would grow in my stomach.
In an attempt to get me to stop sucking my thumb, my parents told me that they passed a new law, and it was now illegal to suck your thumb. They went as far as inviting a cop friend over to the house to scare me. I was so terrified of being arrested and taken to jail, that i quit the next day. I didnt find out until a few years later that it was all a joke.
I used to bite my nails alot and my mom would be so disappointed in me so i put nail polish on to stop myself from biting my nails and i made the worst mess ever so when she got mad at me i was really confused and i said i was just trying to stop myself from biting when i taste the nasty flavor
When my sister was in grade 8 she had to do an essay on the effects of smoking. She did lots of research, and read somewhere that minors weren't allowed to buy cigarettes. When she read me her essay, she said: "Miners aren't allowed to buy cigarettes because if they smoked in the mines, they would suffocate and could cause an explosion." I almost peed my pants when I told her the truth. She's lucky I caught that, otherwise her teacher would have been very disraught.
