Cars may of been a bit of a stretch but w/e I was at work. Bottom line I never agree with any forced goverment regulation. You people see something that may or may not affect you positively and are all for it. Laws like these start precedents people and slowly but surely more and more rights begin getting eroded until finally one affects you than you complain. By than it's too late though.

Alas, I did find it was much easier to quit drinking, while tobacco still has it claws in me. I am an occassional smoker, even skipping days in the winter when it is too cold to go out for a smoke.

Smoking is not a right. The point of laws like this is to protect bystanding people from having their rights (the right to not get cancer from second hand smoke) infringed upon. I am all for you doing whatever you want, as long as what you're doing doesn't have a negative impact on my life. What right do you have to do that?

I sure wish I could get my kids to not smoke....but then I was a smoker as a teen and no adult could tell me differently either. Plus the cost is astronomical! Save that money for the slots or a bottle of vino. I quit in 1983 and ten years later to the day bought my first (and only) new car.

We should not need a law for that, but it seems we do.
As a smoker, I feel that smoking indoors is just wrong. I can't even remember the last time, but it has been more than 18 years since I lit up indoors. I remember when the primary purpose of a coffee table was a place for the ashtray. Do they still make ashtrays?

I like it how in these debates everyone feels they must get the last word and be right almost as though these "web forums" have a gravitational pull for these types of personalities!

I'm happy the non-smoking law has gone through... Seeing friends and family being affected by the negative effects of smoking (ie, emphysema, death by cancer, etc.), coupled with my experience when I worked in a rehabilitative/palliative hospital, really hit home for me. Not to sounds melodramatic or anything, but I can't bring a cigarette to my mouth anymore.

People who are addicted to a drug don't necessarily want to be.
