Of course it´s irresponsible. Those children don´t have any other option. It´s an abuse of power. It´s a violation against their health. Children should be protected against this by legislation as the parents lack common sense.

Yes, they are irresponsible the reason being for this is because: -
1) they will probably have bad health in later life
2) they will pick up bad habits
3) they will probably start smoking when they are older because they will think it is ok and the right thing to do.
There are many health problems that come from smoking for adults. Imagine what health problems children can get from people that light up a ***, and the children inhaling your smoke.

Yes I think it is. My mom said her parents used to smoke in the car and she hated it! Plus it's not good for them. Parents should have some consideration. They don't have to smoke but their children do have to breathe.

Yes. It's even dangerous to children to inhale the fumes from the parent's clothes, so smoke in a car (or any enclosed space) is very bad for kids (and everyone else).

No, not irresponsible - stupid.
After all that we now know about the effects of inhaling secondary smoke any parent that still does it near their children is effectively killing them.
Maybe not now but they could be storing up a heap of health problems for them in later life.

Absolutly. 2nd degree smoke causes cancer. As a parent you choose to inflict this on yourself, a child in the car with a smoker has no choice. One day I hope it will be seen as a chargable offence to do this

How any can say no I have no idea!! Of course it's irresponsible. I'm a smoker but would never smoke in a car or confined space with children in it.

Yes I think they are because they should be aware that smoking is dangerous- both for them and their children. The children may end up smoking themselves and contract lung diseases.

Parents who smoke at all are irresponsible because who will look after their kids when they are in hospital hooked up to an oxygen machine?

Smoking infront of your children anywhere anytime is irresponsible, just like swearing, or shooting drugs would you do this in front of your kids too?
They pick up they learn from you.
You should be a role model for your children.

yes because they make children inhale there smoke and that is bad, and if you drive and loose the cigarette and want to pick it up and have an accident what then?
