Should smoking in the car be banned if you have children riding along with you?
The government is thinking about banning smoking in the car if you have children riding along with you. Government says that far too many children are becoming ill because of second hand smoke. After all, it's your addiction. Why should children riding along with you have to make it their 'possible' death wish?
Yes, I think it should! Also, I think the parents should be responsible enough to be concerned for the health of their children
Smoking in cars when children are on board is definitely the wrong thing to do.
However, the practice should not be banned, and that is because government already has too much power over the ways in which people conduct their personal and daily lives.
Personally, I do not want government determining what is best for my children and dictating the legal things that I partake in while I am in the company of my children.
The problem of people smoking in cars while children are on board should be addressed through a massive and ongoing print-and-electronic media campaign.
In BC this is already the law. I think it should be the law everywhere. I get very cross when I see adults smoking in cars with their children taking in that second hand smoke now we know how much damage it can do.

I see this all too much and it's been striking a chord recently within me. Do you see Parents or Adults in general smoking near their children or associated? Talk about extremely bad role modeling. Sometimes i feel like taking justice into my own hands but how can i they already have it in theirs.

There will be a new law January 1, 2014. You will be fined for smoking with a child under 18 in the car. What are your opinions? Do you think smokers are making a big deal out of it, even when there are also laws on drinking, texting, calls,seatbelts and ect.

And that's what makes it hard to stop. They say that each person who keeps trying to give up is practising for when they actually manage it. They also say that smokers just need will power to stop. I have never met the man, but I have finally managed it. Up to now I have...
