Were living in a time where the name of the game is see who we can harass
next.
Instead of passing a behavior regulation I'd much rather see public
announcements asking parents not to smoke around little ones. Bigger kids, I
hope, can open a window.
Is second hand smoke a real threat? Yes. Ask any pediatrician. If you would
like a name of a well respected pediatrician I'll be happy to provide his
name. Super nice guy. I've known him for over thirty years. Began as a medic
during the Vietnam years.

I am waiting for some lawyer to file a class action suit here in California
against parents who smoke.  It surely isn't good for the small kids and
they've damned little choice except to live with it.

BUT

When are we going to wake up and see (I hate and never have smoked by the
way) that legislating everything is idiotic.

Parents that smoke should not do it where kids can be subjected to it but
are we going to have Camel or Lucky Strike police in our homes just in case?

AND, and where will this lead to, gun control, what you eat control, how
you live your life control?  I humor myself with these lefties  
complaining about the patriot act and all the time they are missing what
is really going on.  The left wing of the Democrat party is the real
enemy.  They must be let go, I mean fired.  WAKE UP  AMERICA!!

If smoking is so bad.....pass a law against smoking.

oh I forgot....the money from the tax is used for all kinds of junk.

Bad idea.....

the county outlawed smoking in the jail - what an uproar.

I see DC finally got slapped about their idiotic gun law.

I usually pay pretty good attention to any of my guns that try to leave the
gun-safe and go out at night.  So far, none have.

My safe with key and 4 position combination will probably be outlawed as an
"unsafe" safe if the loonies keep passing this gun crap.

If it is in your home and you have taken REASONABLE safe guards to keep
them (legal firearms) from childrens access then they will have a tough
time to prove you are neglligent in any way or any form.

I'm not your legal representative.

Nah...just another step towards government restrictions on personal
freedoms.

The next step will be no smoking in cars at all...within 7 years of when
this passes.

You are not "personally free" to injure children.

No connection between this idea, and protecting children from stupid
parents. You agree with other laws which protect children from stupid
parents. You have no reason to disagree with this "no smoking" idea.

<AHEM!> I will reiterate that statement. Pay attention:

Nah...just ANOTHER STEP towards government restrictions on personal
freedoms.

Got it this time? Good!

Now, knock it off.
