I hate legislation that infringes on personal liberties, common sense should not have to be put into law... but the question remains, is it within the personal liberties of a smoker to poison their minor child with their addictive habit?

The answer is no, and the law has no choice but to step in on behalf of the child.

As for the high fat/caloric foods argument... in moderation, even they hold some nutritional value... you can't say the same for something that boasts tar, arsenic, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and nicotine as principal ingredients.
