Pure arrogance.
Good luck with that.
Get a load of this.
The boundless arrogance of the nanny state; right up their with Hillary's "We're going to take things away from you for the common good"
"If you're too stupid to recognize that on your own, then we have to pass a law to tell you, 'Don't be an idiot, don't smoke with your small kid in the car with you'"

Anyone remember bublegum cigarettes and cigars? Man, the world has shifted in thirty years.
What an idiot.
As long as you crack the window and smoke while moving every bit of it goes out the window.
I wonder how many kids are killed each year in car accidents?
Its awful I tells ya!
If youre to stupid to not put your kid in a guided land missle, then we'll have to pass a law to make you walk.
Assemblyman, I think you guys need to tax Twinkies next.
Good job!

Rebuttal: "If you're too stupid to realize you're getting fat on your own, then we're going to have to pass a law to keep you from eating too much Assemblyman"
Looks like we need to pass a law about the over consumption of twinkies because Mr koertz seems to have a problem refraining from shoveling them into his fat piehole
Yep, cleaner air.
Who is that with him?

No doubt it will be. I've never understood how people could smoke in a car with the windows up. It's kind of like a gas chamber. But, it is quite possible to have the windows open, or even just the driver's window open and the cigarette held near it and the smoke blown out of it, and the smoke is hardly noticable. I've been in cars with smokers who have done that and the smoke is not noticable while the person is smoking or afterward. Of course, "science" tells us that if you get even the slightest whiff of tobacco smoke -- not even a whiff, but just a hint of its aroma -- well, you're on the express train to the Promised Land.
In a house even with the ventilation going, the smoke still kind of hangs around for a while -- so my guess is that goverment will incrementally work toward banning it at home, as well.
IMHO, we're way past the point where citizens need to be telling the state to $@!* off.
Maine started this two years ago with Foster Parents!
Maine: Do not smoke if your a foster parent! The DHS says so! It's ok if you sprawl on the couch at night drunk though!
DHS creates smoking rules for foster homes, vehicles
