Fine For Smoking In Car With a Child
New York may soon be fining people $100 for smoking in a car with a child. They are suggesting it as way to educate people on the dangers of second-hand smoke.
As a Californian this proposal is not super shocking to me. There are whole towns near me that don't allow smoking and yes we actually do kind of like it that way. I know, we are strange.
How would you feel if this regulation came to a city near you? Are smokers an oppressed minority?

Senator Toby Ann Stavisky, a Democrat from Queens, is sponsoring a bill that would make it illegal for occupants of a car to smoke if there's anyone younger than 14 in the car.
