I've not repeated anything, perhaps you should check back to see if you have. You obviously don'y realise that you have.
I haven't presumed everyone who has an argument is anti-anti, I haven't even said that the anti-anti's arguments are wrong, because a lot of the time they're right. I've just said that most of the arguments in this thread have little or nothing to do with smoking while strapping a child in to a car seat. Jambutty for examole wants cars banned.

The punishable side shouldn't come into it because a responsible parent wouldn't do it for reasons which have nothing to do with long term health and more to do with common sense.

A child near you should be a punishable offence, so if you went near a child thats in a car in a car seat, thats the childs fault for going near you.

You bring an interesting point slinky which would it rather be a stressed out person getting very annoyed towards a child or least being calm having a cig.......... You NEED a ciggarette to cope with your own child? you need to choke them, doesn't that just make them cry? ah you mean the smoke calms the child, like bees, got you.

Jam butty, you haven't really asked your mp to ban cars have you?, and you wonder why she hasn't answered.
God help you if you get in gayle, you've got all this to look forward to lol.
