I will remember that next time I crank the volume up on my rig.
I do not see anything wrong with protecting children from second hand smoke.
And lastly about taxi's, there lies the solution, put your kids in a taxi.
People shout about freedom of choice, but freedom of choice is not a one way street I am affraid.

Its wrapping children in cotton wool and removing freedom from adults.
Playing music loud enough in that it disrupts neighbours is anti social behaviour, however playing it loud enough in that it only disrupts people living with you isnt and is classed as something would be expected to resolve yourself.
As far as smoking is concerned we either make it fully illegal, ie. cigarettes can not be brought in shops etc. or we allow people to use them how they want in their own space. If they have children then so what.
I dread to think what will happen if labour get another term, we will start seeing legislation that bans any type of adulthood type stuff like banning adverts for bras, banning swearing in the street in front of a kid, if swear at children goto prison that kind of thing. This is the situation we heading towards. Children will grow up in a over protective fantasy world having state money thrown at them left right and centre, then they will hit adulthood and get the shock of their lives.
there is already stories about making UK websites having a age rating system with anything above a PG needing some sort of physical id just so people can register and use the site, we getting very silly now.
Round here I already see the affects of all this, I have had kids throwing stones at my windows and my neighbours knowing if we did anything back we would be spending the night in a cell. They know they are invincible and its getting to the stage where any adult doing any harmful to a child will be illegal.
