I miss the Cold War.....

Had to google for Henry to figure out a Party Affliction...

Surprise! The Socialists are at it again!

It goes without saying that this would only apply to Republicans that are US citizens. I mean, if you discover that the violator is an illegal alien you would have to look the other way because it would be silly to deport someone for the violation of this rule. And surely you wouldn´t apply this to the harried Democrat day care owner just trying to have a smoke without leaving the children unattended? s/o

And does the lawmaker agree to wipe their patoots, clothe and feed them and pay for their college so their parents can enjoy life? I thought not.

Connecticut is hemorrhaging jobs, industries, and revenue, and piling on higher taxes, higher debts, more welfare recipients, and an ever longer list of infrastructure repairs.

And yet this smoking in cars is the most important issue for this clueless socialist whore.

"Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You´d better get it straight that it´s not a bunch of boy scouts you´re up against... We´re after power and we mean it. . . There´s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren´t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What´s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that´s the system, Mr. Reardon, that´s the game, and once you understand it, you´ll be much easier to deal with."

I don´t think smoking is good for anyone, however, chip, chip, chip there go more of our personal freedom.

Considering it´s from the left, I´m assuming that they only mean cigarettes, cigars and pipes, with an exemption being granted for the wacky weed.

We already have it in California. Good thing they didn´t do this when my mother was younger. She quit driving before I was born because it was too stressful-especially with my older brother in the car. I could imagine if she hadn´t been able to smoke either, she would have probably never driven!!

The liberal WHS ruled, a number of years past, that second hand smoke is not harmful. Of course, the info was buried, never to see the light of day again.

Rust never sleeps.

But...but...its for the chillun

Smokers can do whatever they want to themselves, but they have no right -- under any theory -- to impose their smoke and detritus on the rest of us. And what kind of a parent would give their kids a life-long health problem, even in potentia?

Here we go again. The camel´s nose under the tent. Its for the children. You have no freedoms; no rights, if I decide its for the children.
BS. Adults smoked in the presence of children for hundreds of years. Is the human population in any danger of dying out? Hardly. They are living longer and healthier than any time in history.
Liberalism has done far more damage to children than smoke. How about we outlaw that?

Thus (#13) speaks one who has been thoroughly brainwashed by the perpetual health scares promulgated by big government and the leaches who toil in the lucrative vineyards of junk science.

If second hand smoke was that bad my spouse and I would never have reached adulthood. Both Dads and all the uncles smoked a lot, in the car, in the house, everywhere. At family gatherings the dining room was blue with smoke from the men playing cards and smoking. None of them died of lung cancer and none of the 50 cousins have either. This all happened in the 50´s and 60´s, so there´s been plenty of time for illness to show up.
