Smoking in a car with a child is child abuse.

No, it is not. Enabling government to go after your favorite demon and then forcing those kids to live in chains is.

So preventing children from being subjected to toxic substances is putting them in chains?

Do you see that, even for a libertarian, the purpose of government is to prevent people from doing stupid and evil things that harm others? Just because their your children doesn't get you an ok to abuse them.

Suppose Marijuana is legalized in some state, say California.

Would you be opposed to the government "going after your favorite demon" by passing a law that made it illegal to expose children to Marijuana smoke?
