1 Yes- Secondhand smoke is pretty noxious stuff...especially for infants
2 No - You know we are targeting smokers right? By your logic increasing cigarette tax would harm the children too...lets make cigs cheaper :/
3 Yes - So if you can't fix everything...don't bother tying to fix anything?
4 No - I don't think anyone really cares if they smoke...as long as their habit doesn't affect anyone else
