Well, at least your argument is sound and totally logical.
It is sound you just don't like the parallel.

2nd hand smoke causes cancer = ban smoking in cars with kids

Hormones in non-organic meat causes cancer = legislate allowing only organic meat to be fed to minors

or if you don't like the meat analogy how about...

cell phone use around kids or microwaves around kids or power lines or one of the million other things that cause cancer

It's the exact same thing. This is why legislation like this starts crossing dangerous lines. Where do they stop? I'm all for bans of smoking at restaurants and other public places, however at least in the states inside your car is considered an extension of your house for a lot of legal purposes and now you are legislating what can and can't be done in one's home.
