Can you put your baby in a tanning bed? And if not... why not? It's your baby... right? Seems the same type of thing...

Though, to be honest, I can't imagine what's going through the mind of someone who's smoking with their kid in the car. You may as well just chop 10 years off their life. Great parenting.
I can't imagine what is going through the mind of someone who teaches their kids unhealthy eating habits.

Obesity is a MUCH bigger problem than smoking....especially amongst kids. Second hand smoke, and the effect IT has is nothing compared to how many kids are getting Type 2 diabetes as a result of their parents feeding them crap.

Thing is, nobody is noticing it yet.
