I have sort of a unique perspective on this. My junior year of high school, a very popular girl in our community was killed in a car accident. The driver (her mother) was lighting a cigarette and dropped the lighter. She figedted around trying to pick it up, lost control and left the road. Mom walked away, but the coroner couldn't even patch Beth up enough for the funeral.

So I can see how smoking in your car is defineatly a hazard. I am also for banning smoking in public places.

That being said, I don't think that the government should have the right to legislate what you do in private. What you do in your home and when no ons is watching is your own business. It's my opinion, though, that your car should be considered "out in public." Mind you, I didn't say public property, just "in public."

I seem to be in the minority on this one, but I disagree with most of what has been said here.
