I wouldnt smoke with a child in the car (but i use my Ecig).
Its just country seems a far more feeble place than it use to be,Everything is getting banned or regulated.
It must be rather dismal to be a kid in todays age with all the banned, regulated behavior in place.
selfish,dangerous? perhaps, but life was more exciting when I could sit in the back of my uncles old ford escort(without a belt),while he smoked about 15 woodbine on the way to Bpool (with the windows up) at 80mph.
Even if it was less healthier/safe.
"Secondhand smoke causes numerous health problems in infants and children, including severe asthma attacks,
respiratory infections, ear infections, and sudden infant death syndrome, Some of the health conditions caused by secondhand smoke in adults include heart disease and lung cancer"-
CDC - Fact Sheet - Health Effects of Secondhand Smoke - Smoking & Tobacco Use.
Its true but like cashman says its just "richardheads scoring brownie points".
Coming soon to a school near you:
Cameras on poles outside schools to catch folk smoking with kids in the car.
Penelty: £50 fine and points on your licence.
Get caught with a king edward and you might get banned from driving
