Study: Majority supports ban on smoking in cars carrying kids - 13 WTHR Indianapolis

It'll probably come up in mobile (sorry)

These things make my stomach hurt as it seems these things are thrown out there as trial balloons for future legislation. This "for the children" stuff is getting past old.

They can all kiss my ass

 

[Bunnykid68]

I support a ban on *******s doing studies trying to make new laws

Maybe they're doing a study on that too...

Let me know when you know for sure so that I can be sure not to shower for a few days after cutting about 25 yards

interesting...

Among smokers, support was at 60 percent.

Looks like even smokers in the survey agreed with a potential ban.

To All,

The creeping oppression of the Nannystate will be the undoing of our liberty as much as any tyranny from the top.

PS - Please Lord, prove me wrong!

You got it. But I think you'll get tired of sleeping in the garage by then.

Another reason to inject government into people's daily lives, fine people, and initiate violence.

I think I am going to go find some teenagers that need some cigarettes and buy them some, then I am going to steal some lollipops from babies and blow smoke in their little faces. I mad enough I could kick some kittens and puppies

What is the upside of legally protecting one's ability to force another to consume their discarded carcinogens?

I really don't understand this one. No one should be forced to breath the exhaled smoke of some filthy drug user.

Now us smokers are filthy drug users? Can't be any worse than that crap spewing forth from the exhaust of our vehicles

How are the police to differentiate a cigarette from a sucker, straw, or electronic cigarette? Better pull you over and find out.

How are the police to know if there's a car-seat in the back? Better pull you over and find out.

Smoking is filthy. Tobacco is a drug.

The "smoke" pouring from the exhaust of the average modern gasoline engine is mostly water vapor and carbon dioxide, with trace amounts of oxides of nitrogen and carbon monoxide. The CO is bad, but to put things in perspective even Diesel exhaust contains ten times less CO than cigarette smoke.

Cigarette smoke produces 10 times more air pollution than diesel car exhaust

Yet another one who does not mind taking away somebody else's freedom's.
I grew up around cigarette smoke and it never bothered me a bit. Just drive's me crazy when somebody who would join a site in support of gun's and gun right's can be all for the gov't stepping in and taking rights away, just so long as it is not the one's they care about.

 

[Darral27]

You are right sir. Why don't you try your own experiment? Stand in a closed garage with a smoker chain smoking for 1 hour, Remove the smoker from the garage and start your car and stay in there with it for one hour. I bet your right, the smoker will get you much worse.

 

[Bunnykid68]

They should have put some animals in the garage when they did the tests and seen which ones were alive after each test

What "freedom", exactly, is being threatened? The right to poison those in your car?

What about the rights of the child...(or any other passenger for that matter) the one who has no say in the decision to fill the car with toxic waste, and who has no escape from it?

If you forced your child to consume alcohol, cocaine, or any other street drug you would expect to face legal action, would you not?

Why is nicotine any different? Why should it be?
