I just dont see the point man. I understand its a bad thing, but at the same time what real effect is this going to have? So they dont smoke in the car with their kids but just hotbox their house once they get home? Progress!

If you want to have an impact on the safetey of people who cant protect themselves then I think other measures are going to have to be implemented, this law to me seems like trying to empty Lake Ontario with a teacup.

I understand the 'logical fallacy' of; 'if we cant do everything then we shouldnt do anything' but at the same time, the effort and expense of doing something incredibly minor and likely largely ineffective seems like an inefficient method to cure the root cause.

You want to protect kids, thats great, what real, measureable effect is this going to have towards that goal? If the answer is; 'very little' then maybe people should keep looking for a better way.

I also understand that its 'something' and that 'something is always better than nothing' but if the cost of something outweighs its own benefits then maybe instead of blindly and unthinkingly doing it anyways, the resources would be better served finding a more suitable alternative.
