Do I agree with smoking in the car? No, but you're getting a bit extreme on taking away the child.

Fair enough, for me, I just hate the fact that parents smoke in the car with their little kids present. If you knew me, we'd probably find that we agree on the fact that there is too much "think of the children" going on now a days, and that goverment is doing too much to interfere with the way kids are raised. I was raised in the late '80s/90's and I saw my parents and my freinds' parents doing things that would have most of the "i'm the perfect parent" parents heads' spinning these days, and we all turned out fine.
heck, I still remember my friends dad loading 10 of us in his old ford 150, with two or three kids per seat, no seatbelts, and he would slide down the entire road at a 90 degree angle on the icey street down to the 7-11 to get slurpees in the middle of winter with none of us dressed properly for the weather.
Or giving us each our own beer on New years eve when we were all around 10 or 11. Actually looking back those were some of my favorite memories growing up, lol.
But yeah, for some reason this smoking thing has my panties in a bunch, lol. Actually, come to think of it, that same dad was a heavy smoker, and looking back, I'm sure he was probably smoking in the truck with us in there too.
