I am a smoker, and extend the moral question further that it has many
effects on the health and productivity of the smoker while impacting the
longevity of a parent, shortchanging the offspring in many ways less
directly than immediate exposure. That said, I feel guilt each time I
light up (~25/day) and am irritated at my weakness. Smoking anywhere
around children should be done with caution IMO even in open environments.

I saw that article. I believe that if a person wishes to smoke in
their own vehicle, they should be allowed to do so. I support the less
reaching ban, that disallows smoking in vehicles that drive children.
I know plenty of people that smoke and would be quite horrified at
being near children, much less transporting them lol. The strong ban
on ALL vehicles is just silly IMO. Trying to prevent children from
ever seeing a cigarette burning is taking government intrusion back
into the middle ages...or the middle east.

Fiddler, your post is quite timely as the UK is looking to extend its
smoking band to cars with child passengers:
