However they disregarded a lot of that information and excluded things they said were irrelevant in the study but were somehow relevant in the anti smoking laws.
does ANYBODY know somebody who got cancer from 2nd hand smoke?
You can actually sit in gridlock traffic behind a bigrig with yer kids in the car with the windows down for 45 min and that is perfectly acceptable.
However, it is unacceptable to smoke in yer car with yer kids.
Ok, lets put this theory to the test. I will be willing to sit in a garage with no ventilation with 2 smokers for 2 hours.
Now all i need is somebody to volunteer to sit in a garage with no ventilation with a running car for 2 hours.
Hmm... its a good thing the real issues are being tackled here huh?
I dont smoke in my car. Period. I dont smoke in my house. Period. It is not to do with health reasons, it has to do with the fact i dont want my stuff smelling like shit. lol.
i wouldnt smoke around logan either, because his lungs are still developing. . But honestly i would be more worried about traffic smog than 2nd hand smoke.
I think it is a bad idea to smoke in a car with kids. MOST people who smoke understand this now a days.
It just seems like a waste of money to enfore a dumb law that states the obivious. just a waste of tax payer money.
I also agree. Either make it illegal, or stop banning it.
christ.
arent there more important things to worry about?

I agree with you on the diesel emmissions thing, but this law in all reality will do nothing but generate money for the the State, not cost tax payers. I also agree with you that MOST people do understand that you probably shouldn't smoke in the car with kids, but we need stupid laws for stupid people. All of us here are all pretty smart people and realize that it might be the best thing to smoke in front of a child, but you know what...some people don't know any better or just don't give an F....so in all reality this law will do nothing to hurt your average person who has some common sense. I don't see the harm in it to be honest.
I'm not a doctor or scientist so I couldn't FOR sure if second hand smoke harmful, but I can't see how it wouldn't be harmful....it's the same shit the other person is taking in. I just don't know how people can say it's not harmful and think it's hogwash, but won't smoke in front of their own kids. A bit hypocrytical if you ask me.
Anyway, I think it's a good law that won't have any effect on people with common sense.
Water DR, I highly doubt the rest of the world will be laughing at us for trying to protect children. It might take some time, but I be willing to bet other states start adopting this law. I also don't understand how you guys can say you wouldn't smoke in the car with kids and that people shouldn't do it, but then bash the law that protects the kids. As for SF, they are in their own little world....please don't lump our entire state in with a crazy city.
