"It's only a matter of time before loving parents who smoke in or around their homes are accused of child abuse and risk having their children taken into care. Tobacco is a legal product. Adults must be allowed to smoke somewhere."

The selfish cretins, forcing children to breathe in poisons IS child abuse FFS!

My parents smoked a hundred tabs each a day and it never did me any harm.

Would you be happy to take the chance with your own children? I wouldn't. Why risk damaging their health because of a pathetic habit?

Yes I would. The biggest problem with children these days is how much they are mollycoddled and never exposed to any danger. Walking down the street inhaling exhaust fumes probably endangers their little lungs far more than cigarette smoke does.

My grandparents smoked two hundred tabs a day each and it never did my parents any harm.

Strange decision, especially from an apparently intelligent poster who should know better about statistics. Each to their own like. No way I'd allow smoking around my kids. Why force carcinogens into their lungs?

our parents didnt know it was bad to smoke around us, we know now, vis a vis child abuse
