We shouldn't have to tell people not to smoke around children but some
people are stupid ( and I was one of them) . There are laws to wear your
seatbelts, not to drive drunk ,all of those should be common sense but they
aren't followed by some unless there is laws in place.
as far as bedroom police isn't there something that states" what you do
behind closed bedroom doors your own business"? doesn't that imply if you do
'something" in public, public business that you can be fined for same
behavior etc (ever wonder why they cops make you stop "parking")
Your right the government is too dependent on the tax money generated by
ciggs.
I can't see children being taken away, they are talking about a fine. later
on who knows... they compare cigg smoking like a crack habit and just about
as deadly IMO. shouldn't children be taken away if parents refuse to stop
smoking crack ( do they smoke crack?) until the parents can prove they are
fit to raise them?
I think we all need ot face facts here. in the furture smoking ciggs will
be illegal for all. this is just the start and we need ot get used ot it. I
just wish this started way back when 100 years ago so it would not even be
an issue for us to start or have to stop smoking. the people I loved would
not of died from lung cancer from smoking.
I have huge guilt that I smoked around my children. Now I know that the
biggest part of their asthma attacks were because of our smoking. sure
people told me that but I did not listen. maybe this bylaw will make at
least one other parent really listen and see that tey are hurting in not
killing thier kids.
the greatest thing about opinions is we all have them
