I'm all for it.

I grew up in a smoking home and then started smoking myself (quit around 5 years ago). I remember being a kid in the car and having trouble breathing. I also remember being short of breath and getting chest pains.

Smoking in cars is child abuse by neglegence as far as I am concerned. It is no different than willingly exposing them to any carcinogen that can easily be avoided.
