if this is correct the public should be made more aware. I'm not a smoker myself but do know lots of smokers. personally I despise seeing mothers driving along with a fag hanging out of their mouths whilst negotiating a junction or roundabout as their little cherubs are strapped in the back of the car, why would you subject a child to that? If people want to smoke it's their free will to do so but to inflict it on someone else is wrong, I've walked down many busy streets and markets and had cigarette smoke blown in my face, it's disgusting! however as I say everyone's own free will, there should be areas made available for smokers not just in pubs, but shelters in town centres or coffee houses just for smokers, so everyone has the choice to go somewhere for a smoke or to be able to walk around without being forced to breathe someone's second hand smoke in.

Yes i feel exactly teh same when i come close to a drunk! or somebody who takes up more than half the pavement! I think we should go the whole hog.....firstly get rid of anything that makes you gorge (walking past fast food outlets on a sat afternoon is like a visit to the zoo)...this would then save shedloads of money as it would cut down on heart disease, diabitas, and stomach realated surgery. It would also enable parents to be able to walk with their kids (good old fashioned word "walk") and make them practise the art of cooking at home.
Then perhaps tackle drink, nothin worse than smelling a tot or bottle on someones breath yuk!, That would save shedloads on weekend a&e visits because they fell over or just twatted someone they didnt like. Shedloads would be saved on the care of liver failure, diabetas, addiction care and family breakdown. Not to mention the money we would save from drink drivers running into not only people but the landscape or somebodys wall! It was also stop kids being taken to the pub or bar for a weekend outing with mum & dad.
It might be good if children were banned in cars altogether! they are a disctraction especially if theres more than one in there! Banning them in shops and even towns could do peoples ears a world of good too, nothing worse than trying to spend your hard earned in a shop where the kiddy noise is deafening!
So if we banned all these perhaps the world would be a better place not only for kids but for everyone...we can then concentrate on getting the world into the utopian society we all so long for .....thats after we tackled people who talk crap, loud people of society and anyone who wears trackie bottoms on a weekend
But we have to remember that along with all that comes the problem of "getting bored" as there would be no living in other peoples lives, or the art of interferring or practising to be a model citizen through the mistakes of others. This would cause society to become involved in "minding their own business, putting their own house in order and looking into seclusion and non comparision.

as I said everyone's own free will, but inflicting secondhand smoke on people particularly children in the confined space of a car can be avoided, walking passed maccy D's well that doesn't really harm anyone else unless someone grabs you and force feeds you one of their cardboard burger, but you can always not gorp through the window, you have a choice, however children don't have a choice If their selfish parents decide to put them in a environment that could harm their health, but the parents do have that choice, but some parents make the choice to put their children in that situation as I said why would you do that?

Not all smoking parents put their children at risk, I smoked for 21 years before finally managing to give up. I have 3 children but always managed to go outside to have a fag, if I was driving and desperately needed a fag I would pull over and get out of the car to smoke. My husband still smokes, but never in the house or car.
Did I mention I gave up smoking 2yrs and 10 months ago?
I really miss smoking....

Blimey! I misunderstood that at the first reading!
My first thought, at that point, was that it would actually be safer for you to stay inside the car and let them take their chance with the smoke..

banning kids is a bit harsh . Not all kids scream and act uo in shops . Both my children are extremely well behaved when we go out. they save all the tantrums for when we get home . I'm also a smoker but I don't smoke in the house or car and rarly let my kids even see me smokingYes i feel exactly teh same when i come close to a drunk! or somebody who takes up more than half the pavement!
