They smoked non stop in the car and never cracked a window cause mom never liked the breeze. We drove a lot as child, went into the city for a three hour drive almost every weekend.
As of today out of the 3 kids they had 2 of them have destroyed sinus passages and lingering breathing problems. Neither of my two sibblings smoked and had no say in the smoking my parents did. My brother can't stop sniffing to this day as his nose will always run, like a person who comes in from the cold, the small veins in his nose are destroyed.
Our parents used to beat us real bad and we have scars on our bodies to prove it. But out of all the hurt they caused us the abuse of their second hand smoke has been the most damaging.
I hate my parents for this, cause even then they knew what they where doing and didn't care.
This law was made for people like my parents and for the health of the two kids they destroyed. This is abuse, just like beating a child. Take it from someone who has lived through the scars of both there is no difference.
