Second hand smoke leads to immediate (in the case of asthmatics and stuff) and imminent long term health risks. Seems pretty bogus to me. Smoke outside imo.
Voted : yes
with what we know now about the harmful effects of smoke on those young lungs, I would have to say yes.
I don't know the level of legislation that I would be comfortable with. After all, shouldn't FOX TV be prosecuted for abuse for exposing kids to offensive materials? How about coal burning powerplant and their effect on kids? etc.etc.
Education, rather than legislation should be the answer to stamp out these type of abuse.

sure. then they better include eating trans fats or if a child catches his / her parents having sex, make that child abuse too. i say no. but, parents should use common sense and not expose their kids to second-hand smoke.
I don't think it's just the cigarette smoke that is harmfull, considering the pollution in the air that we breath on a daily basis.
Cigarette smoke is the least of our concerns I think.
What I thought funny (and a little hypocritical) was walking in and almost choking on smoke in a non smokers house one time. She doesnt allow cigarettes in her house and around her kids, but she'll light up that incense and those smudging sticks in a heart beat.
And when her kids complain, it goes in one ear and out the other.
That's abuse.
We're having trouble ridding the world of a known cancer-causing product and its intended usage.
Isn't that an odd situation?
Any pharmaceutical product exhibiting carcinogenic tendencies would have been immediately withdrawn from the market, 20-35 yrs. ago!!
And U-guys think the Bush Admin. is fishy?
This Tobacco thing bin going one for near half a century(since we've known the nasty truth)
Voted : yes
Yes, because they are subjecting the child to carsinogens, and the child can't easily get away from them.
Actually, someone told me that Maine now has a law against smoking in a car with children inside.
Voted : no
Only if it's crack
