I read somewhere not long ago that a child in a car with a smoking adult with the windows closed damages their lungs as badly from one cigarette as an adult does from an entire pack of cigarettes in the open air.

That is child endangerment no?

How badly would you have to be poisoning(by any means including smoking) a child before you would want the government to have a law against it?

What about when your children get a ride from their friends parents, and those parents are smoking around YOUR kids? Where you no longer have a choice?

As someone who grew up with a chain smoking father (who quit after he almost died a few years ago) I fully support any laws against it. ADDICTION, which is what smoking is, is no excuse for any behavior - not least of which is poisoning innocent children.

I just wish they banned smoking altogether (although understand it would just spawn a major blackmarket for all the addicts...).
