I really find it amazing when I hear people addicted to butts in their mouth to obtain nicotine and carcinogens around their kids. So when one smokes in a separate room do you wander how your air conditioner recycles the smoke?
How come smoker's cars have that really nasty yellow tar build up that is so great it makes the headliners in the car drop as it eats away at the glue holding the headliner in place? How about those responsible losers that crack their window one inch as they smoke and it funnels the fumes to the back seat for their infant to get an early smoke before daycare...
Do you know or care that many SIDS cases where the child stop breathing in their crib is traced back to their ability to breath in a smoker's house.
We know some feel its their god given right to smoke and they are surprised its not one of the amendments next to the right to bear arms but its not and quit making yourself feel good by searching for something else that cause early death for people. One mentioned obesity and I agree that the US is lazy and overweight and those overweight slobs gets special handicap stickers and the battery operated carts to haul their fat buts to the grocery to get more food to suck down and never exercise. They are just as bad as the person who sucks on a butt and is addicted to smoking. We all know smoking kills and causes cancer but don't push this addiction on your kids with second hand smoke. The person comparing exhaust fumes to smoking should try putting their mouth over the exhaust and inhaling deeply as it has similar carcinogens to smoking.
Did you see back in 2006 how "Anti-tobacco forces are opening a new front in the war against smoking by banning it in private places such as homes and cars when children are present?
Starting Jan. 1, Texas will restrict smoking in foster parents' homes at all times and in cars when children are present, says Darrell Azar of the Department of Family and Protective Services.
Vermont, Washington and other states and counties already prohibit foster parents from smoking around children in their homes and cars.
Arkansas and Louisiana passed laws this year forbidding anyone from smoking in cars carrying young children. Courts are ordering smoke-free environments in custody and visitation disputes.
"We are very rapidly moving to protect children from secondhand smoke," says John Banzhaf, executive director of Action on Smoking and Health. "Even from their own parents and grandparents."
Former surgeon general Richard Carmona said in June that children exposed to secondhand smoke suffer an increased risk of respiratory ailments and sudden infant death syndrome.
Most smoking bans apply to workplaces and spots like bars and restaurants.
Smokers' rights groups liken banning smoking in private to the "Salem witch hunt," says Gary Nolan, spokesman for The Smoker's Club, Inc. He says secondhand smoke is not dangerous. "If we don't reverse this, they'll be telling us what we can eat and what we can feed our children," Nolan says.
Former smoker Bob Mathis, a Democratic state representative in Arkansas, sponsored a law that bars smoking in a car carrying a child young enough to require a car seat. It took effect in July. A violator can be fined $25 but can get out of it with proof of participation in a smoking-cessation program. A similar law took effect in Louisiana in August.
"We have laws on the books in every state of the union against child abuse," Mathis says. "This is a form of child abuse."
At least six states and some counties prohibit foster parents from smoking when foster children are present, says Kathleen Dachille, director of the Legal Resource Center for Tobacco Regulation, Litigation & Advocacy at the University of Maryland School of Law. "There are times when it's appropriate to regulate what people can do in their home," she says. "The state is responsible for that child."
Some courts are ordering parents in custody and visitation disputes not to smoke around their kids.
Initially, courts considered restrictions when children had ailments such as asthma that are exacerbated by smoke, says Linda Elrod, a law professor and editor of Family Law Quarterly. Now, they're more willing to restrict smoking even when there are no obvious health problems, she says. It generally comes up when one parent complains about the other's smoking."
Smoking is a bad habit that needs not be defended by people who are addicted and are weak. The reason they wine and complain so much about smoking because they possibly learned it probably from their parents who smoked in front of them and damaged their lungs at an early age. How about taking a stance and changing your kid's future by not smoking in front of them.
Smoking is not cool or healthy and is for losers who just don't get it.
To tie smoking to the right to bear arms maybe one can put a Colt 45 with one bullet next to your pack of butts and spin the barely each time and put the gun to your head and pull the trigger before lighting the butt up. This way it can speed up the process of your addiction. Each will get to the same place at the mortuary but one will be a little faster.
