I am not a smoker, I won't date a girl who smokes as I think it is disgusting, however this type of Nanny state crap is terrible in my view.

You can't legislate against things which are considered dangerous when used in the manner they are intended? What the hell can you legislate on then?

There are, and always will be, laws about the circumstances you are allowed to smoke under. This is no different than having non-smoking sections in restaurants, except the difference here is the kid in the car doesn't have the ability to say he wants to sit in the non-smoking section.

Children are a vulnerable sector of society, so they need additional laws to keep them safe.
