Smoking to be banned in cars

I don’t smoke but this is ridiculous.

SMOKING in cars may soon be banned in NSW.

The NSW government flagged such a move after two other states imposed restrictions on lighting up when under-16s are in a vehicle.

Premier Morris Iemma, launching a $1.4 million anti-smoking TV ad, revealed cabinet was considering an in-car smoking ban.

He also revealed his personal revulsion at his father’s smoking habit.

“What we’re doing at the moment is examining the experience in Tasmania and South Australia that have introduced rules in that area … it is timely to have a look at it,” the premier told reporters at the National Lung Cancer Awareness day.

“The cabinet office has been considering this.”…..

Those under 16 kids are the responsibility of the parents not the government. If their parents want to smoke while driving so be it. If the children don’t belong to the smokers then their parents still need to take responsibility for them. I’m f&^% sick of the nanny state!
