I have 2 different friends that smoke in the car with their kids. My kid is NOT allowed to go anywhere with them and their kids because of it. One of them actually smokes in the house. I quit being friends with her when her 3 year old son was on an inhaler for bronchial infection and she and her husband and her brother were all hotboxing in their very small house. They have no respect for their kid, so how can I be friends with someone like that. I would never smoke in the car or the house with my kids. I am an on again off again smoker but I never even smoked around my daughter, only when she wasn't around me. I think if people are stupid enough to smoke in a house or car with their kids, they should be fined heavily. And I just want some opinions here..but the friend who was smoking around her very sick asthmatic little boy, was told by the dr. to quit smoking around him. I feel this was serious enough Child Services should be involved, but I didn't do anything about it. Should I have?
