i think they should be fined more than 500 dol!!! it should be considered a form of child abuse!!! its like having kids in a car with no seat belt!! car going at 60miles per hour and kids moving about in the car.. its a form of negligence and abuse to these kids who dont have any one responsible to speak up or protect them.... i hope the law comes to ny and nj... its about time we put a stop to it!!! kids never asked to have asthma or be exposed to all those toxics that can cause cancer!!

Absolutely! California's bill mandates that a driver can only be fined if they've already been pulled over for another offense (speeding, aggressive driving, etc.), but in my opinion, just smoking with kids in the car should be enough to get you stopped. And the $100 fine should only be for first-time offenders. Every offense after that should double the fine. There's no excuse for smoking around children, and I say that as the daughter of a smoker. Maryland has started cracking down on smoking in public places and I hope they adapt this law as well. We passed a seatbelt law a few years ago and within a year, I was stopped for that twice. Shouldn't the same be done for endangering someone else's life?!

If they are your kids you are talking about then you can not have them in a smokers car. Otherwise, I think there is a much more serious child abuse going on. Im a non smoker but am sick of this crap about smoking and laws, make tobacco illegal period. Oh, i'm sorry the government makes too much money with it just like alcohol but wants to impose two sides laws, to allow it and to punish people for using it.

I think that smoking in a car with children should be allowed if you exhale only into a tube that leads to the outside of the car, so that the children are not exposed to the smoke (but not if you exhale normally into the air that the children breathe). E-mail me if you want me to give you the rights to this invention. I think it is a good idea but do not know how to develop and market it.

nicely i'm uncertain the way it violates your constitutional rights. locate me an exchange that asserts which you have that suitable. Your civil liberties on the different hand, sure! it relatively is relatively a dumb regulation. i'm not a smoker, and that i think of that oldsters who smoke in any respect are actually not doing their babies any favors, yet we could constantly be allowed to make stupid selections. There are lots worse issues which you're able to do on your baby in my e book than smoke interior the vehicle. not smoking in public places is one element, yet on your person abode and your person vehicle, it relatively is a distinctive matter completely. I concern that this regulation is the gateway regulation to issues like - making a criminal offense to purchase your baby a happy meal as a results of fact it truly is risky to their well being. This united states of america is rapidly starting to be socialist. Angela- His babies have not got any constitutional rights. Constitutional rights in basic terms practice to vote casting age voters. returned coach me interior the form the place somebody has the terrific suited to not be uncovered to Cigarette smoke. I hate smoking as lots as a results of fact the subsequent guy. I hate status in line someplace the place somebody is smoking and that i could breath that air, yet no the place is the form does it say something regarding the terrific suited to respire clean air.

No I dont think our goverment will ever tell us how to raise our children.
How about the parent that is driving down the road - talking on the cell phone - drinking coffee - and screaming at the kids to shut up because she cant hear her phone conversation????
Or the people that leave their kids in the car - for a quick run into the store.

Well I don't think smokers should smoke whilst driving whatever the case. I think it's just as bad as being on your mobile. I hate when I'm in the car with a smoker especially if i'm in the back seat because even if they put the window down the ash still blows back onto me and makes me smell of smoke.
I think it should be made illegal

If we do that, shouldn't every driver be fined for spewing deadly fumes from their exhaust pipe? After all, those fumes get into other vehicles. Everyone out there in traffic, kids included, breathes in a lot more of that than cigarette smoke.

Yes!! I dont think that children should be exposed to smoke, especially when it can cause health risks as they get older.
