So, your saying , for reasonable people, NO proof that something is bad is ample proof to them that it is bad and if they have no proof that it should be banned, that is ample proof that it should be banned.

If parent cannot discern the difference between a glass of water and a room full of cigarette smoke they have no business raising children. We do know the smoke absolutely causes early death in smokers. We do know that smoke is something to avoid in general. We do know that smoking is the cause of specific diseases that only come from smoking. Therefore, unlike water, its a risk factor. Therefore, its not something a reasonable adult would subject a child to.

If an adult does that continuously, deliberately and consistently they are abusive, not to mention supremely selfish.

Absolutely?????????

You have got to be absolutely kidding and forgot to add the /sarcasm tag to your post.

Even you can't possibly believe this nonsense.......because that is exactly what it is - nonsense.

That is not to say that smoking is healthy habit to take up - it is just to say that your attempt to use the absurd to prove your point falls very far short of the mark.
