no. because we have no police as it is. and they can't stop the mobile phone thing either.
if they're going to do it. then do it properly.
make smoking around children in the home illegal too.
unless you can do that. then you're not really doing it for the children.
you're letting a lot of children down.
now you're supposed to say "how are they going to police it?"
If they allowed society to turn against each other. then we could beat an offender up if we caught them using a mobile phone. smoking in a car with children. smoking around children in the home. not going to work everyday like everybody else.
there's no point grassing someone up who was smoking around children. by the time the police come out to them it's long since happened.

Physically abusing your child is illegal, yet I'm sure plenty of it goes on at home behind closed doors.
But you wouldn't abuse a child in public, or in a car with clear windows, for example. Or you'd be arrested.
Same principle applies.
