I haven't chose not to smoke, I just haven't done it. They've made a conscious decision to smoke so why should I negotiate my health for them cos they've lost all forms of control by not smoking in front of me.

I agree Lauren
But when you say that to your parents or grandparents, uncles, aunts whatever, they look at you and don't understand, because they are enjoying it so much.
But Children shouldn't be subjected to that and that is a form of abuse to children.
If someone leaves a Dog in the car on a hot day, without a window open, there are huge complaints.
But if three children are being subjected to Cigarette smoke in a closed confined environment, it seems to be different.
Well things are going to change and after the smoking ban in public places, surely this must be the next agenda.

Banning smoking in the home would be a nightmare to enforce. You would need a police state to do so effectively....
The only real solution to children being exposed to passive smoking is a total ban on the manufacture and sale of cigarettes.
However. Bottom line is society cannot stop illegal drug taffiiking let alone cigarette smoking...
Alcohol kills many!!! Where do we stop when it come to banning things...
Those that drink in front of children you could say promote drinking to children. Should we ban all anti social habits to protect our children..!!!
Cigarettes kill. Yes. Alcohol kills. Yes.... Why do we discriminate between the two......One gets the red light the other gets the green light.......We all lead hypocritical lives.
