Maybe. A lot of people still don't actually believe it is all that harmful, hence the word "stupid". Anyone under the age of 40 was told in school that smoking is bad for you.
Maybe they are willfully ignoring the evidence just so they can keep up the behaviour?
Is this really a social problem still though? I know lots of parents and not one of them would ever even consider smoking in the car with their kids. I haven't seen anyone do it in some time, though granted I don't really look for that kind of thing.
How many people commit this "crime"? Is it a big problem in Okotoks in particular, or is this being drummed up by some busybodies?
