These people who smoke in their cars with their children in the car are disgusting,selfish people as simple as that, same with people who smoke in their houses while their children are beside them.
It is estimated that the average car spews out 10,000 times the noxious fumes of the average smoker. Should it be against the law to drive near schools?Should it be against the law to smoke in a car in which children are also present?

I'd advise you to avoid the west side of Parnell Square near the entrance to the Rotunda so otherwise you might get very upset. Probably the same around any Irish maternity hospital?The only thing worse than smoking in the car with children is smoking while pregnant. I saw 2 women standing outside the local shopping centre smoking, one was probably about 6 months pregnant, the other was almost ready to pop!
A number of times recently I have noticed people smoking in their car while there are children in the back. While smoking in a car is disgusting doing so when there are children should be criminal.

...us who have met special conditions should be allowed breed and rear...........slim, non smokers,minimal drinkers(and of course never in pregnancy !!!!), intelligent people suited to the task. Where have we heard all this sort of ............before?
This is an important point. We even see existing regulations about kids in cars (i.e. the need for car seats/booster seats/seat belts) being flouted fairly regularly. The last thing we need is more unenforced legislation.And of course it wouldn't be enforced anyway - how many times a day do you see road users (and I am one, but commute to work) break existing laws - using mobiles, ignoring traffic lights, speeding, unaccompanied provisional drivers etc.
Sounds better than the dysgenics we've got going on at the moment.Yes, the more I think of it,maybe in this brave new world , only those of us who have met special conditions should be allowed breed and rear...........slim, non smokers,minimal drinkers(and of course never in pregnancy !!!!), intelligent people suited to the task.

nobody should be allowed smoke around children.A Ban on smoking at home would be impossible to enforce, but I would definitely have no problem with legislation being introduced to ban smoking in cars. It has nothing to do with a 'nanny state', it is simply preventing irresponsible adults from endangering the health of children.

How far would you take this? Banning children from eating fast food? From using the interweb? Watching TV? Playing outside?
