"They [are] hard at work getting smoking outlawed within the walls of private residences." If children are present in a private home, it ought to be illegal to smoke there. Not only are children exposed to second hand smoke being put at a risk from a health standpoint, they are also likely to become smokers themselves. It actually makes more sense to ban smoking in private homes where children are present than it does to ban it in bars and restaurants. Adults have a choice to enter or work in the latter while children have no choice about where to live (this is not to say there aren't good reasons to ban smoking in bars and retaurants). Exposing children to cigarette smoke is a form of abuse and ought to be treated as such.
