Reply #102: When people are too STUPID about things, you have to make laws. [View All]

Unfortunately, some people are NOT intelligent enough nor CARING enough to realize or care that they are killing their children by smoking in the car with the kids. Sadly, you have to legislate this, because it is a public health issue. Trapped in a small box with thousands of carcinogens leads to leukemia, asthma, heart conditions, cancer, and other ailments in children. And beyond the humane aspect of the law, this is also going to save millions in public health care costs. Children of smokers get sick more and stay sick longer.

It completely AMAZES me that the people who whine about losing the right to poison their children with smoke in a car, are usually the same that would CRY and call a lawyer if they believed that their workplace had exposed them to dangerous chemicals.

Sadly, when parents are idiots, you have to make laws.

oh, did you know that DOGS of smokers are known to get cancer more than non-smoker's dogs? Especially long-nosed breeds, because the smoke stays in longer.
