No.
It is not possible to legislate against stupid* people having children, so you have to do the next best thing. People who are willing to smoke in a confined space with children present do not care about the child, so you need to hit them somewhere that they do care about, like their wallet.
* Couldn't think of a better word, sorry. It seems to best describe the heavily pregnant woman standing outside her front door in Great Harwood a week ago, having a fag. So she doesn't want the smell of cigarette smoke in her curtains and sofa, but the toxins polluting her unborn child are OK?
