    Default A step to far or not enough?

    So the Minister of Health is has hinted that the Government could ban all smoking in cars as a way to prevent children from inhaling second hand smoke. So seeing as the Irish Times hasn't yet published an MRBI poll on the topic I thought I'd take the liberty of helping them out.

    So do you think this is absolutely crazy or would you like to see more being done.

    As a smoker who doesn't have kids, I feel that this is just ridiculous and if they are going to allow shops sell them and tax the shit out of tobacco then we should be allowed smoke in our cars if by ourselves. What harm are we doing to anyone else? As it is, we are made feel like outcasts anyway so why punish us any more.

    Fuck, sorry I didn't add the poll, I am a moron

    It's a step too far.
    However, some guidelines regarding smoking in the presence of children would be a good thing.

    of course , but then those without children have to put up with the ban

    As I said why not ban them altogether
    Seeing as the government seen to worry about our health , but then they would loose millions in taxes

    I agree wholeheartedly, kids shouldn't be subjected to secondhand smoke.

    That's not what I said.
    Banning smoking in cars is a step too far. I agree.
    If smoking in the presence of a child was banned, people would still be able to smoke in their car providing there was no child present.

    I agree, Its a good thing not to smoke at all around children, secondhand smoke is bad for them, infact any smoke it bad for them... Then I would say this, as I have never smoked.. I hate the smell of the bloody thing..

    I know you weren't.
    I was explaining because you seem to misunderstand my posts a lot.
    Maybe I don't put things clearly enough.
