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.

I still think you are off. The fact one rule does not exist does not mean one rule also should not exist. I also do not agree that eating meat causes cancer is a fair argument to make in respect to smoking causing cancer.
I can eat a steak in front of a child, they are not eating a steak, no matter how small the room is. I smoke in front of a child, they are smoking, and it is only worse as the size of the room decreases.
Some people need a law to pressure them into doing the right thing. This is one of those laws.
