Cars Due to the small interior space of a car, an increased concentration of toxic secondhand smoke can be produced quickly.

That’s why some states – including California, Louisiana, and Arkansas – have already passed laws banning smoking in cars with children present.

Unfortunately in this case - I was driving in FL


Driving down US 1, headed into Stuart FL and following this car on the highway. I noticed the passengers were smoking because they had their windows cracked and were hanging cigarettes out which I guess I have to figure is some consideration - sure that some smokers don't even open a window - anyway getting in front of them, I noticed a third person in the back seat of this junker smoking too. We stopped for a light and I was wondering how they could stand being in that car with all that smoke when I saw a small head of a child, around 2 or 3 years old, squirming and trying to lift out of the harness or whatever they had him or her in the back seat with. I was feeling sorry for the kid, and sorry I couldn't report the driver for anything. It was a pretty helpless feeling overall. I guess that's why this rant was needed.


Ontario has joined British Columbia and Nova Scotia
Ontario has joined British Columbia and Nova Scotia in banning smoking in vehicles carrying kids under the age of 16. The offense carries a maximum fine of $250. Critics of the ban argue that this is just another step towards banning smoking in private residences but the Government claims it has no plans under consideration. While Ontario has introduced controversial laws in the past, most are supportive of this one as it is hard to argue against it.

Yeah, a child squirming in his seat? That never happens! Why don't you quit trying to "save" everyone else and worry about yourself. Maybe try keeping your eyes on the road and your nose out of other people's business.

Parks
Around Washington state, many local communities have made public parks smoke-free. Parks are natural places to seek no-smoking rules, as they are community centers where people gather to enjoy the benefits of "clean and healthy" air.
With lashings and lashings of chem trails, clean air dont make me laugh, I smoke and it makes me cough all the crap out that I has taken in during my walk in the fresh air, and if you think its fresh air your breathing blow your nose the next time you get in the house and see the crap you breathed in.
Do some research into smoking and learn the truth, such as how the link with cancer and smoking was fabricated to try and damage cubas cigar trade. when I reach my 20 posts and can start a thread Im going to give links to everything smokers die early they say in 2010 the 10 oldest people in the world were smokers. Cancer research and the anti smoking lobby is all about cash and lies.

Glad to see you're a sick individual who doesn't recognize a toxic substance that damages the delicate structure of a child when you see it.




Go back to hell and enjoy the ride.


Your spouting of 'personal freedoms' cease when a child who has no say is involved.





You make me want to puke.

No.


My kids have been taught from a young age that crap food is bad for your health.

I made it a point, as did my wife, that we educate our kids much better than we were educated at their age.

Plus, we live in Australia, which is far away from your obese-kingdom of fail.

Yeah i'm glad my state is banning smoking in cars with kids. Smoking should be banned everywhere permanantly, filthy habit that kills millions a year. It wouldn't hurt my feelings one bit to be able to breathe clean air. I'm allergic to cigarette smoke and everyone in my family smokes except my brother and i because we both share that allergy, our throats swell up and get sore when were forced to breathe cigarette smoke and we can only tolerate it for a couple of hours until our family runs us out for lack of being able to breathe.

I'm sure kids and teenagers of parents who are smokers would love being able to go to school without stinking as is they smoked a carton before they go to school everyday, and get made fun of less. My 16 year old neice would tie into her mother (my sister) on a daily basis because she got tired of going to school stinking of cigarrettes and having to smother it in perfume which didn't really help because cigarette smoke gets in your clothes and hair and is impossible to get out without showering and washing.

Smoking in cars with kids should be banned


i smoked for many years, as did my other half, when she fell pregnant with our first kid she gave up, i didnt but would never smoke around them, not outside, not in the car certainly not in the house,

i have finally got to the stage where i only ever smoke when drinking and i only ever go drinking about once every two months, i am a father of two, my priorities have shifted...

there is no justification for smoking around your kids, not in the car, not in your living room, if you have choosen to smoke that is fine, i have no judgement on you as a person, however smoking around a child is disgusting and a terrible habit to be in, the child has not asked to smoke, or be around second hand smoke,

this is about choice, i see people saying about putting the window down in the car in busy traffic would be worse, first would it? would the concentration of chemicals be as high as a closed veichle with cigarette smoke? really?

and poisining water and food, you choose what food you put into your body and your childs body, it is up to you to make the right choice there, with smoking however it is not a choice for you to make, you should never smoke in the same room as your children, there is no justification for it.

to see people talk about staying out of others lives on this site is rich, between religous bashing, alien believers being ridiculed and general nastyness this site breeds, everyone is always on the moral high ground about somthing on here.

to see what are meant to be educated and open minded people doing anything other than condeming smoking in a closed veichle with children is disgusting!

It is highly unlikely you are allergic to cigarette smoke.

You have weak lungs.

This is occurring more and more since humans stopped burning so much wood to heat their homes and even more since the crack down on smoking.

Smoke is smoke, there is no practical difference between wood smoke and cigarette smoke.

Humans lungs have become more sensitive to everything over the past 60 years or so. This is observable by the drastic increase of asthma and other respiratory diseases and illnesses.

I come from a family of very heavy smokers, I have smoked 2+ packs a day for the last 15 years. I can guarantee you that I can run faster and longer than 99% of the Earths population. I am also not allergic to anything.

Why should I be inconvenienced because you are an inferior specimen of human being?

Because you stink and what you do stinks and kills people by the millions. Even people who are not smokers die from your weapons of mass destruction. Burning a fire doesn't bother me at all fyi, i use a fireplace in the winter tyvm and it doesn't effect me at all. Neither do i have asthma. So i guess your inferior human brain doesn't know as much as you think. Know what happens when you ASSume?
