    wait we have freedom? lol. I wish the public was allowed to voice their opinions on these kinds of things rather than have them answer for us.

    To be fair, though I wouldnt be an active supporter of something like this...i wont go against it either. Taking our freedom away? Is it OUR freedom or the kids? I think the kids have a right not to inhale while pop is puffing away in the front seat. I remember when i was 13 and my aunts smoke bugged me (she was a 5 pack a day type of woman), and it was unheard of to say "could you ease up." Its different if you can go into a different room..but in a car, what choice do you have?

    I am not saying i approve peoples smoking infront of their kids, i dont, i am just saying that politicians interfere awfuly a lot in our everyday life and our freedom these days. I think there more things to worry bout than who smoke infront of their kids and fine them 100 bucks.

    Eh, I don't mind it. I probably should be bothered by it but I don't think one should be smoking with kids in the car. So if you need to fine people who treat their children like that, so be it.

    Problem is...you give Govt an inch, they will take a mile...before long it will be "You can't smoke in your home...for whatever the reason..."

    I don't think it is about smoking in front of your kids. I think it is about driving with the kids in the back seat and filling the car with second hand smoke. Someone once reminded Frank Sinatra that smoking kills. He responded "you die your way, baby, I'll die mine."
