    I love how everyone supporting this just assumes you’ll still be able to smoke at your own home when it doesn’t saying anything of the sort. It explicitly states ‘where children COULD be present’. This is literally everywhere short of some BDSM dungeon. This is basically going to make the population choose between smoking and having kids.

      Which actually sounds fair. Kids do not choose to be born and do not need to inhale smoke because parents are addicted to smoking

      Yeah don’t smoke near your kids. It’s not that hard.

      They’re also making the population choose between drinking and driving.

        No they’re not. Do they outlaw drinking everywhere children might one day walk through.

          Do you often spill drinks into the mouths of passerby’s?

          The issue isn’t the substance, it’s the second hand smoke. Children are smart enough to know “this is a thing my parents do that I can’t” but no level of smart can keep the air they breath from containing smoke.

      Well No, those laws usually only apply to Public areas, so as to Not Hurt your right of doing jackshit in your Home. At least the cannabis law in Germany has been designed Like it (but alas, cannabis is Not as much detrimental to the health of people around one as Smoking is).
