I think that is called ‘back door population control’.
Wake up folks. Somebody is trying for a new cap feather.

This is an outrage, dictating what can take place within privately-owned property, our vehicles, and being subjected to governmental authority regarding the health and welfare of our children; these are decisions, in a FREE society, to be made by the adult in charge and control of his family and property. Next installment: “No smoking in the home.” Good grief, I never thought I would see this day in America, a “free”–what’s the politically correct definition these days?–society.

Look up the symptoms of withdrawal from smoking…some being irritability and anger (road rage), inattention, dizziness, digestive problems, sleepiness, etc., and decide if you want anyone going Cold Turkey near you on the highway. It appears that no doctors were involved in crafting any no-smoking-in-cars-with-kids laws. For that matter, have any doctors diagnosed any illness caused to a child by a smoker in a car?
If it’s a “crime to smoke” near kids…what about the crime of secretly adulterating so-called “tobacco products” with some of the most health-damaging industrial substances on the planet?…many of them being especially harmful to children, mothers and fetuses?
It seems like more people personally don’t like smoke, but have no trouble with corporate crimes that endanger, experiment upon, and kill millions. And they have no problem with corporate lies about cigarettes being automatically tobacco.
Serch “Fauxbacco” for more.

Brendan I totally agree illegals need NOT be here what is so hard bout getting legal papers

would any responsible smoker smoke with his kids in the car?

do any smokers want their kids to smoke, too?

get over yourselves. it’s good for the kids.

Wow what a joke you smokers are. How selfish can you be? You think it’s your right to be able to smoke when you want wherever you want. What about the rights of non smokers who have to tolerate walking around and through smokers as they huddle on sidewalks and throw their cigarette butts on the ground because they are too damn lazy and inconsiderate to thrown them in the trash. Bottom line is that it’s a disgusting habit and 95% of smokes just don’t have the will power or mental strength to quit. Keep smoking your $10 a pack cigarettes just don’t do it in the car with your children. They will be better for it.

The government is in our lives enough. Ban smoking and the sales of all tobacco products but how dare you tell me what I can do within the confines of my life. The PUBLIC interest will be served if the sales of known carcinogenics is banned, and those selling it are taken to task.

I want a law that bans over-priced gas from being sold. I want another that requires anyone with an IQ below average to wear a sign, warning those with above average IQ’s that they are dealing with a mentally inferior person. How about a mandatory bedtime for children? We could also come up with a law requiring certain marital acts be performed a minimum/maximum number of times per day/week/month… Stop trying to legislate my life!!!! You would make George Orwell proud.

Personal accountability, i do not think that NY lawmakers know what this phrase means. they should change their state flag to the hammer and sickle

How about a Ban on democrats

I am from Boston and I love New York (not the Yanks), at least I used to. My wife and I won’t visit NY however due to the over the top smoking laws. Why does the biggest best city in the world have such uptight busybody fussbudget Laws? I am a Jew so don’t get the next part wrong. Is it a character trait of liberal Jews, the skinny pinch-faced, diet soda drinking, overprotective-parent type?
We started out as freedom loving hippies and wound up as a nation of officious buttinskies. Sheesh. Good-bye NYC. I’ll miss you, and you will miss my tourist dollars.

Well I can say I smoked for 3 months out of my whole 31 years of existence and never smoked in anyone’s house or car! I now get the same respect from others no one smokes in my house or car! I’ve not said one word! They have took it upon themselves to smoke outside! My mother and father do NOT smoke in their car nor is anyone else allowed! IS IT REALLY THAT HARD!

Any truth to the rumor that politicians want to ban parents from farting in front of their children because they contain potentially lethal methane gas?

Someone must protect the children from such noxious fumes. Please big brother… tell me how to cope with this menace to society.
