As anti-smoking as I am i think this just goes to far. I'm not suggesting it's healthy for children, but how about we fine parents for feeding their fat toddlers at Mcdonald's?

How does feeding fat toddlers McDonald's make smoking in a car okay. So often when someone is trying to solve a problem the opposition is to point out an irrelevant alternate problem. Should fat kids be eating Big Macs? Probably not, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea to smoke in a car with that child. Why do both problems have to be solved at once? Why can't we stop parents from smoking in a car with a minor, and then move on to the next one?

I don't see how anyone can argue that smoking in a car when there is a child in it is healthy and/or good for the child. The adults have made their choice to smoke, but the children shouldn't have to suffer. In no way, shape or form does this have anything to do with McDonald's, unless they are driving to or from McDonald's.
