    California Banning Smoking In Cars??

    Just heard something about this on the news but didn't catch the whole piece.

    Whoa, as much as I don't like cigarette smoke, that's really getting into a person's individual space and rights.

    Thoughts?

                              If there are no children in the car.....that is by far one of the STUPIDEST things I've heard in quite a while.

                                      That would never pass.
                                      But if it did, it would be funny to see the governor, a famous cigar smoker, get fined for lighting up in his car.

                                          A lot of times though they try tacking controversial bills onto less controversial urgent bills and sneaking them through the system.

                                              if they want to pay for my car then they can certainly tell me what to do in it. but until that day I say they can suck my dick and floss with a pube when their done.

                                                  I think this only applies to having children in the car:

                                                  "It is unlawful for a person to smoke a pipe, cigar,
                                                  or cigarette in a motor vehicle, whether in motion or at rest, in
                                                  which there is a child passenger who is required under the Vehicle
                                                  Code to be secured in a child passenger restraint system."

                                                  I agree with the law if this is the case. Adult should be allowed to smoke in thier cars though without children....
                                                  subarus.

                                                          WTF?!

                                                          If it makes me happy to burn one, then who the fuck is the collective ass of California to tell me that I can't burn one IN MY OWN CAR?! What, are you going to say that I can't do it in my house next? Will the sale of tobacco products suddenly become illegal in California? Didn't Prohibition teach these fucks anything? How about the war on drugs, didn't that teach them anything?

                                                          Banning something makes the cookie jar syndrome come into play. If we can't have it legally, then we will jack up prices, smuggle shit in, and sell it on the black market for double value, instigating mafia and gang tactics, kill people over the money, and WE'LL STILL HAVE OUR GOODIES! Might not be legally had, but they'll be had.

                                                          Every time I hear shit like this, it reminds me of how much I hate the bereaucratic mentality and why, despite the fact that I love San Diego's climate and local flavor, I will try to avoid moving there like I try to avoid the plague.

                                                          *goes to burn one*

                                                                  Are you ok with a ban on smoking in cars if there are children inside?

                                                                  Or you have a problem with that also?

It was very hard to deal with and we had lots of fights over it. I was always afraid she would fall asleep after I did and light the bed on fire accidently beside just stinking up our bedroom.

                                                                          When we got married she promised she would never smoke again, but she didn't keep her promise.

                                                                          Its very hard on the marriage if you don't smoke and your partner does. I would never make that mistake again.

                                                                              Code to be secured in a child passenger restraint system."

                                                                              I agree with the law if this is the case. Adult should be allowed to smoke in thier cars though without children....
                                                                              It appears that it does only apply if children are in the vehicle. I would have to support this myself if that is the case. I don't think any parent should smoke around thier children, but if it's just parent in the car by themselves then WTF?!@#

                                                                                  You know, it's really kinda funny. I only smoke outside, and it's really rare these days that I smoke when I'm not around other smokers.

                                                                                  As for the ban on smoking with kids in the car, again, I'd have to say no to it. While I agree that no children should be exposed to second-hand smoke, I do not agree with a government of any type dictating what I can and cannot do in my personally owned vehicle or in a home or property that I pay for, whether renting or purchasing.

                                                                                  It's up to the parent to care for their children, educate them about smoking, and assure that no one will smoke around the children, not the state.

                                                                                  ICQ: 11120676 | Google: mindcrime | Skype: suitemindcrime|E-Mail: mindcrime AT gmail.com|PR girl with great writing skills for hire!!!!

                                                                                          As for the ban on smoking with kids in the car, again, I'd have to say no to it. While I agree that no children should be exposed to second-hand smoke, I do not agree with a government of any type dictating what I can and cannot do in my personally owned vehicle or in a home or property that I pay for, whether renting or purchasing.

                                                                                          It's up to the parent to care for their children, educate them about smoking, and assure that no one will smoke around the children, not the state.
                                                                                          but as a parent you're not allowed to give alcohol to a child.

I wouldn't drink in front of my kids, (though many parents who are against smoking don't think twice about drinking in front of their kids), and I smoke OUTSIDE, thus not trapping smoke in my house for the kids to pick up, and I don't smoke in a car where children are present.

                                                                                              Does that make me a conscientious smoker, or am I just polite like that?

                                                                                                                              And still about 50% of popultion in western countries smoke.

                                                                                                                                      There was a case in NY where a mother wasnt allowed to smoke in her car *OR* in her home while she had her child during her parental visits!

The one most often quoted comes from a 1992 EPA report which reported 50000 deaths a year due to second-hand smoke. This study was funded by the American Cancer Society, yet the raw data of this study was never released or independently verified.

                                                                                                                                              An activist named Gian Turci made a request under the Freedom of Information Act for details on the study and all he got back were blank, crossed out and censored pages. In Mr. Turci's words: "If the mountain of evidence is so real, why are the scientific community and the public denied the possibility of verification?"

                                                                                                                                              Indeed. In 1998 the American Cancer Society finally retracted this statistic, stating in a press release: "The American Cancer Society will no longer use.. the statistic because we too have been unable to acquire the documentation to support this citation."

                                                                                                                                              In other words, it was a lie.

                                                                                                                                              RSP or "Respirable suspended particulate matter" is the crap, or amount of pollutants, in the air. Occupational Safety and Health Administration rules state that a workplace must have a RSP rating of 5000 micrograms per cubic meter over eight hours in order to be considered officially dangerous to workers.

                                                                                                                                              A Department of Energy study in 1999 found that the average RSP level in a bar or restaurant that allows smoking to be only 67 or 135 micrograms, respectively. In 2000, the Oak Ridge national laboratory, a part of the Dept of Energy, found RSP ratings of just 9.41 and 14.9. In 1993 the American Medical Association found 117 or 348 micrograms, the highest of the bunch and yet still far below the OSHA minimum danger rating of 5000.

                                                                                                                                                      one part about smokin in cars is the siginificant amount of damage being done by smokers to the general opublic by throwing their cigarette butts out of their car windows.

                                                                                                                                                      Have you even bothered to read about all the fires they are causing???

                                                                                                                                                      Homes and neighborhoods are going up in flames because people cannot follow ONE RULE: DO NOT THROW YOUR CIGARETTE BUTTS OUT WINDOW.

                                                                                                                                                      Too many people have broken this law and their is NO WAY to enforce it.

                                                                                                                                                      So, smokers have brought this upon themselves. This is NOT ABOUT RIGHTS< this is about smokers abusing nature and killing people by burning neighborhoods by simply throwing cig butts out window.

                                                                                                                                                      think about it for a minute and youll see what i mean

                                                                                                                                                      not allowing people to smoke around kids is simply the right thing to do

Not allowing people to fart around kids? Not allowing people to eat fried foods around kids?

                                                                                                                                                                  What about if they're on fire? Can the fire smoke around kids?

                                                                                                                                                                  moms who smoke while caring for their child are dangerous.

                                                                                                                                                                  I am firmly against moms who smoke around kids and smoke while pregnant, I have given a female webmaster shit on this board and another for smoking while pregnant, i dont think kids should have to inhale someone elses smoke.

                                                                                                                                                                  its not good, im not usually for shit like this but seriously, think about the kids for a minute. this isnt about porn, its about the hazards of smoking.

                                                                                                                                                                          fire is FAST here, once it starts its on, and the wind simply fuels it.

                                                                                                                                                                          people cant even imagine flames growing so fast you canty even outrun them.

                                                                                                                                                                          the news has shown flames that are faster than a human running, here, fuck all that, people simply cant imagine it.

                                                                                                                                                                                  Are you ok with a ban on smoking in cars if there are children inside?

                                                                                                                                                                                  Or you have a problem with that also?
                                                                                                                                                                                  Would you have a problem banning porn in homes with children?

                                                                                                                                                                                          Are you ok with a ban on smoking in cars if there are children inside?

                                                                                                                                                                                          Or you have a problem with that also?
                                                                                                                                                                                          as long as the windows are down and the kids aren't getting hit with the smoke, it can be very irritating on the throat

                                                                                                                                                                                            Comment

                                                                                                                                                                                              http://www.askdrsears.com/html/10/T105800.asp

                                                                                                                                                                                              Consider the physiological effects of smoking on yourself and your baby, especially the increased risk of SIDS.

                                                                                                                                                                                              1. It retards growth. Smoking stunts the growth of the developing fetus. Nicotine narrows the uterine blood vessels, thus reducing blood flow to the baby.

                                                                                                                                                                                              2. It retards brain development. Nicotine has been shown experimentally to retard fetal brain growth in animals. The developing brain is particularly vulnerable to low levels of oxygen, and immaturity of the brain center that regulates breathing could contribute to SIDS.

                                                                                                                                                                                              5. Passive smoking also harms the baby. When expectant mothers are exposed to smoke from other people's cigarettes, their babies are also exposed. One study showed that a pregnant woman's exposure to smoke for at least two hours a day doubled her risk of delivering a low birthweight baby. While older studies claimed no increased SIDS risk if the father smoked, a newer study reports a higher risk of SIDS if the father smokes. Demand that your husband and co-workers respect the life inside your womb. If your job requires working in a smoke-contaminated environment while pregnant, know that this is a proven health hazard to your baby and is grounds for reassignment to a baby-healthy environment. As a testimony to the wisdom of the body, many mothers find they have an aversion to being around cigarette and cigar smoke (and to drinking alcohol) while pregnant. Listen to the warnings of your body and hundreds of medical studies: Don't expose yourself and your baby to smoke while pregnant. Legally, you have the right to work in a smoke-free environment.

                                                                                                                                                                                              6. Smoking harms mothers and babies.

                                                                                                                                                                                              Increases infertility (smoking could account for ten percent of infertility problems in mothers)
                                                                                                                                                                                              Increases risk of ectopic pregnancy
                                                                                                                                                                                              Increases risk of placenta previa
                                                                                                                                                                                              Increases risk of premature separation of the placenta
                                                                                                                                                                                              Increases risk of placental abnormalities (known as "smoker's placenta")
                                                                                                                                                                                              Increases risk of problem pregnancies, e.g., pre-eclampsia
                                                                                                                                                                                              Increases risk of prematurity under intrauterine growth retardation
                                                                                                                                                                                              Increases risk of the newborn dying at birth by twenty percent; thirty-five percent if mother smokes more than thirty-five cigarettes a day
                                                                                                                                                                                              Increases risk of respiratory infections in infant

Some of these substances are in stronger concentrations in second-hand smoke than they are in the smoke that goes directly into smokers? lungs.
