Good point - I do - and tried to hide it away from them. I know my boys do/have a little - I'm not proud.
I'd rather they understood the reason behind it and learn a lesson.

mine did my dad also had and asbestos roof on his garage and painted the fence with lead paint .

Yep, my parents were heavy smokers.

My dad suffered multiple strokes, and my mum had bronchitis and emphysema, which killed her before she was 70.

Finally chocolate and sugar as well as sugar type derivatives as being addictive and bad for us.
Then red meat etc..

It would be more to the point if everyone got back to minding their own business and look after themselves and stop worrying what others are up to.What we need is a little less interference from the state.

Agreed.

Both my parents smoked too, they both died within 3 months of each other. My dad had a few heart attacks, the last one killed him, (29th Nov 93'). Then my mam was diagnosed with colon cancer, that eventually spread to her liver. she died at home, (14th Feb 94'). They were both in their very early 60's.

as they were born in the 30/s they went though a lot of toxins.
D.d.t /ASBESTOS/ LEAD WATER PIPES /LEAD PAINT / SMOG/ to name a few

Re: Should smoking in cars carrying children be banned?

All those don't cause bronchitis, emphysema, and strokes.

They cause asbestosis, lung cancer, pleural and peritoneal mesothelioma (asbestos), nervous system and kidney damage (Lead pipes/paint), and foetal neurotoxicity (DDT).

my sister has emphysema she is on an oxygen tube up her nose 24/7

and strokes

Quote:

Smoking, being overweight, lack of exercise and a poor diet are also risk factors for stroke. Also, conditions that affect the circulation of the blood, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) and diabetes, increase your risk of having a stroke.

we seem to be heading away from topic - this seems to be getting closer to a contest of who had what and how they got it!

"Should smoking in cars carrying children be banned?"

Yes it should be banned. I gave my reasons for this in post #250.
