But we do not need a law for this.
What next smoking at home containing children to be banned? why stop there?
Giving your kids unheathly food to be banned? fines for chips?
You can't legislate for bad parenting.

I have to agree, why do we need a law to stop people smoking in cars with kids. I'd have thought responsible parents would not smoke in a car with kids.
I have a lot of friends who smoke in cars, or in rooms in the presence of their kids. When I comment about this, the respnse I hear the most is "It's not that bad", "wheres the proof that they will get cancer", " I know many people who smoke 20 a day and dont have cancer " etc etc. It does suprise me that such views are used as excuses but I do think that a lo of people still genuinely believe that passive smoking isn't such a big deal.
