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.

even for the sake of your own children? the same ones I'm sure you'd say you would take a bullet for? but you won't (not can't - we all know you can) stop smoking for their health?

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.

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.

sorry but are you sure it was because they smoked .
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).

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.

Re: Should smoking in cars carrying children be banned?
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!

I think that may be because some people think denial is a river in Egypt.....

"Should smoking in cars carrying children be banned?"
Yes it should be banned. I gave my reasons for this in post #250.

But you don't cross the road with your eyes shut to danger (hopefully)....
