I'm glad you've been told off. It means you've cared enough to put yourself at risk. I wonder how many folks here who like this law have never cared enough to speak out when they witnessed someone doing it.
I do disagree with your second statement. I've known some very good parents who took a long time to get on the boat(and a few who never caught the boat) on this not smoking near your children ethic. I respect the sacrifices they've made and the good things they've instilled in they're kids. One failing doesn't make for a bad parent.
I guess as a parent I have a lot of empathy for parents. Children are a huge investment. In a sense they are project that occupies the greater part of your adult life and is what you leave the world when you go. For someone to come along and criticize my work having invested nothing to it themselves really irks me.
