Should smoking in cars with Children be banned?

Smoking should be banned if there is children or not.

It should be the driver and/or owner of the cars decision.

should feeding your children anything but organic 3 course meals be banned?

should forcing your children to go to school be banned?

should punishing your children for misbehaviour be banned?

should teaching your children anything be banned?

because, you know, cigarettes are the only thing bad for children that parents have the right to expose them too. Or wait, I forgot it was ok to take away the personal freedoms of those who smoke, because they are dirty and we don't like them.

Not the child's? I mean if the kid is being put in danger wouldn't any rational moral system say the kid should get at least some say in what happens?

I'm pretty sure you can't eat it if it isn't organic.

No. They should go to school.

No. If we don't punish kids how will we deal with anger issues?

If it disagrees with my personal system of morals, yes.

These things have nothing to do with smoking, so why make such a silly comparison?

Heres a more realistic comparison, lets say I liked walking about with some Plutonium in my pocket cause I liked to glow in the dark.

And because of this I was getting cancer, but I don´t mind its my life and its the price im willing to pay for the glow.

But the other people arround me are getting ill as well, including my kids, well thats just tough its my right as a free person.

Is this also a responsible attitude to take?

Yeah, it should have the right to decide whether it wants a ride in the car. Not whether someone smokes in the car though

Yes, it should be banned.

anyone who says yes to this needs to be blasted in the face with liquid aids.

Just out of curiosity, why exactly are you suggesting that I be maimed/injured?

I can think legal action is irresponsible

my point with the comparison is that the precedence this would set is alarming.

That doing things which are bad for your health and that of those around you is... undesirable?

Ha. Right.

We could just kill smokers in the good old fashioned free-market problem solving.

Recently I was looking at a debate and a popular topic was being debated, should smoking in cars with children be banned?

I would like to know your reasonings if it should or shouldn't be.

doesn't matter. nobody would enforce it, and a lot of smokers most of the time wouldn't bother to follow it.

No government intervention. We get to enforce laws by the will of the individual. I'd love to see a smoker try running from a ex-marine with an Uzi.

Aaaaymeeeen!

And any other pains in the ass which happen to be in my car, being bothered about smoking in the car.

I meant with weed stoned

Yeah! To hell with children! Let them die of suffocation, or slowly grow an obsession with cigarettes! As long as smokers get to smoke, who cares about the lives of others! To hell with them, I say!
