people smoking in cars with children

[motherbeyond]

Am guessing most people feel this same about this subject.I was just out in our village with my 2.A car pulled up and two women got out of the car smoking.Fair enough.They then proceeded to open the back doors and let two primary school children out and a toddler.This makes my blood boil.What are these people thinking.It's bad enough when they are walking along pushing a buggy with a fag in their hand,at least they're outside.To trap children ina car and force them to inhale fumes from their death sticks,is beyond comprehension.one word springs to mind.scum.Harsh,but true imo

I'm of mixed opinion on this one tbh, I'm a non smoker and have never smoked but personally I dont agree with the persecution of smokers, its their choice to smoke and I've gotta say if I was a smoker and someone came over and told me I shouldnt smoke in my own car I too would tell them to piss off and mind their own business!

However I've gotta say if someone needs a fag so much surely (for short journeys anyway) you could either have it before you get in or after you get out. It pisses me off when I'm driving behind someone and they chuck a fag end out of the window, I dont wanna drive over your still burning fag end nor do I want it blowing onto my windscreen.

A mate of mine who's a smoker chooses to smoke outside his own house, he does this as he doesnt want his 3 yr old son breathing in his cigarette smoke when he comes to stay over. Likewise, I've never asked my smoking friends to smoke outside my house but when they come and visit they do so anyway as theyre respectful of the fact I dont smoke, and its also to do with the fact I'm not what they call a whinging non smoker therefore they don't think "oh god another non smoker going on again" I as much as smokers find such rants counter productive it makes people switch off and not wanna listen.

Of course theres proven links to smoking and cancer, heart disease etc.......but somethings gonna get ya eventually, IMO take what pleasures you can get in life, if smokings one then so be it
