What age if at all would you introduce pool to your child?

Knowing the state of pool, what goes on, the shady characters, the lack of big money and the ability to comfortably raise a family, the lifestyle, (the level of pool that must be attained in order to make the big buck and how few people can do it for extended periods)... Do you think you would keep them away from pool, or would you let them do it but make sure it was just 'for fun', or would you introduce it to them at all? I am thinking that I would let my boy play on my table, and when he was older, 16+ maybe the family league nights, but I am pretty sure I would make sure he didn't plans or dreams to take it further than that. At least i would try to curb it. Knowing how pool can infest a person and take over them it might be hard to do. I am just glad i have a while to work this out before he gets to that age.
