Instead, he cites in detail dozens of studies on the negative health effects of secondhand smoke, and concludes it is the court's obligation to act in the best interests of the child to limit exposure to smoke.

BOGUS!  This judge is either not up on the truth and is just another anti that sits on a bench, looking down on people and exercising his CONTROL over people.  For instance, does he know about the Federal Court throwing out the EPA's 1993 study on Second Hand Smoke?

Federal Court Rules Against EPA on Secondhand Smoke

And I think any anti who tries to dismiss the findings of the U.S. Department of Energy labs at Oak Ridge, should be confronted with the question: "Are you saying that DOE researchers committed scientific fraud and that their findings on ETS exposure are untrue?"

Oak Ridge Labs & Second Hand Smoke

John Banzhaf III, executive director of Washington, D.C.-based Action on Smoking and Health, said courts in at least 15 states have ruled that secondhand smoke can be a factor in a custody proceeding. He said many divorce proceedings now include agreements not to smoke around the children.

One of the well funded anti-smoker in the U.S. It wouldn't PAY for me to have kids today. I am thankful my girl is GROWN.  Funny how SHE made it in a two smoker house, eh?

Protecting children from secondhand smoke "is not that far out a concept."

How about protecting the kids from SUNSHINE, a class A Carcinogen, just like smoking. How about protecting them from exhaust fumes from passing trucks.  How about just putting the teens in a BUBBLE and protect them from EVERYTHING.  Hey, Judge. Yes. Put them in a damn bubble!  "It's for their own good you know!"  NOT!

I don't smoke, but I'm hacked off nonetheless. Where is it going to end?
