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.
Nope, I don't care one way or another. It really just doesn't prove your point.

To complain that because regulations regarding hormone use in cattle, and other very tasty animals, don't go as far as you would like them to somehow means that we should allow people to poison their kids with another well known carcinogen is a ridiculous argument and a logical fallacy.

Both should probably be regulated, but just because one isn't doesn't mean the other can't be.
