Exactly how are they going to enforce this? Police smoking road blocks? Please - where is the common sense?

i watched this on cross fire last night. I can only take so much of that show, it gives me a pounding headache. In any event it was ridiculous. Is there no end in liberals trying to control our lives.
I don't smoke, nor do I like to see adults smoking in the same room as young children; however, I think it is more dangerous, physically, to take your child to a protest. The dangers in that far exceed the danger in off and on second hand smoke

Nowhere that I can see. But America's peculiar prediliction for Prohibition is well-documented.

Walk up to the window, open it, place your hands firmly on the sill, and look out! THEN you may find some common sense! :)

It'll start with police stops. A cop will have you roll down your window and if the inside of your car smells like butts and you've got a kid in there, if he doesn't see a butt in the ashtray he'll ask you to step out of your car and he'll frisk you for cigs. Later, when this brilliant piece of legislation is accepted by the public, but hasn't yet solved the problem of "kids being hurt by tobacco," the law will be extended to your home---guaranteed. Then the cops will have to rely upon "informants" to bust you.

This is a well-worn path, my tobacco smoking friends!
