Re: Should smoking in cars carrying children be banned?

Why not just ban smoking outright and be done with it.
I don't feel sorry for the smokers - I feel sorry for the babies and children whose parents are sooooo selfish they'd subject their loved ones to either to be honest. However, whereas policing a smoking in front of children ban in a private household is impossible, doing so in public isn't (even if such bans e.g. using mobile phones whilst driving haven't solved the problem entirely).
