Smoking is an easy target to make it look as if the government is working towards improving the health of the nation and the instead of actually tackling the problems that the NHS has: poor staffing levels, inefficient and wasteful management and morale so low that it's sunning itself on Ayre's Rock

And of course (as always) failing to mention the billions in tax they take from smokers....

Well, you shouldn't have voted for it should you...?

Oh wait, nobody voted for it.... another completely unnecessary, draconian and unenforceable law.... hang them all.

There may be an easy and cheap way to protest that law that will possibly drive the establishment nuts. You can still buy those kids candy cigs in the retro sweet shops and seeing as the law can only work if drivers are seen or pictured with a cigarette in their mouth. So if enough people were pulled over for 'smoking' the sweet the media would have a field day no matter where they stand on the issue.

The Ozzies manage to make it enforceable, been the law in most states there for years.

And shoot the messenger if you like but this is one anti smoking law I support, kids just don't get a chance to say no to being smoked at in cars and the science says it is a health risk to them. 

Should be balanced by repealing the idiot laws that says someone alone in his/her company car can't smoke and in pubs with smoke extraction systems.

Ban all children from cars.   Make them walk. It will cut child obesity and accidents caused by them distracting the driver.

The only downside is that they will instead breathe the carcinogenic diesel fumes that are concentrated by the roadside and are far, far worse.

But there is no evidence that 'second hand smoke' is harmful....

My dad smoked all the time - including in the car - and it didn't do me any harm...

Kids don't get a chance to say 'no' to loads of things - quite right, they are kids....

Indeed.  There's scant evidence that smoking causes lung cancer either.  It probably can cause emphasymia,  but not lung cancer. Remember the "smoking Beagles"...?
