I agree with that proposed law and fully support it. Smoking in a car with a kid in it is like sticking the kid in a closed garage with the car running. The health hazzards of second hand smoke have been proven time and time again, not to mention the horrible smell.
I would even go far enough to say that smokers should be banned from smoking in apartment buildings as well. While I don't care what smokers do in their own homes, when their smoke comes from their home and completely fumigates MY home, there's a problem. If a neighbor has a water leak and it comes into my apartment, I expect it to be fixed so the water doesn't come into my apartment and ruin things. When my neighbors (who smoke like chimneys) puff away, the smell is getting into my apartment and my stuff. Moving out is NOT an option because we're dirt poor. Apartments are communal living spaces. Just the same as smoking is banned from resturaunts, office buildings, etc (also communal), it should be banned from apartment buildings as well.
Let the deluge of "You can't tell me what to do or not do in my home !!" begin.
