I know that they aren't my kids and therefore none of my business, but it's like you're taking your kid out of the game before they even have a chance to play. Why take a chance on creating future health problems? Personally, I wouldn't consider it a bad thing if a no-smoking with children law were passed.

Omg dude spare me, I know a ton of kids that smoke and are some of the stand out athletes in the state this year some of which are even juniors!!! I also know from personal experience smoking has absolutly nothing to do with athletic performance! There are a couple of kids I know from my junior year that were seniors at other schools in hockey (and I know this isnt the topic) but they had their best games smoking EDIT* before the game and we would talk throughout the season and they said "Dude I played sooo bad today..I hate road games its so tough to smoke before a game" Honestly if you take away a persons RIGHTS to smoke whats next our right to vote, chew, drink, breath, eat....how bout we just go communist because that is more or less what you are pushing for!

Life isnt fair to those people whose parents are alchoholics, smoke in front of them, those whose parents left them (willingly and unwillingly) its somthing you have to deal with it not cool but ohh well. Jordan I don't understand why this is such a big deal to you as of now because you can legally move out of your house and be on your own at 16. I have a good feeling that most parents who smoke in their house really dont care if their kids go outside or into a different room when they do smoke. Some people get the short end of the stick and with people complaing about this and thinking it is necessary to take a persons rights away is a prime example of when I always say america is getting way way to soft someone in the baseball thread said america is becoming marshmellows and that is exactly what all of you are becoming lifes a ****** deal with it!

Obviously life isn't fair... nobody here is saying that it is or should be... what I was trying to say, is that something as harmful as smoking should be unlawful to do within the confines of your home or a car with children present... what can a child say to their parent who gives them no alternative but to breathe in second-hand smoke? They can't say anything... as for infringing on our rights as americans, how is it a parent's right to make their children breathe second-hand smoke?

Quit trying to help the world when everyone has their own problems. Really?
Lets hear about these skeletons in my close. I really can't wait. You have never met me and know nothing about me, so tell me about the skeletons in my closet. This is already shown with your completely stupid comment about parents bailing on their children. You honestly have no idea what that is like. Don't say you do until you have experienced it. You need to get a clue.
This might help you out. My name is "Jordan Maurer," not Josh Maurer.

See Jordan there is this thing in America called Emancipation which means a person can legally move out and live on their own at the age of 16, I am suprised you didn't know this. And you still have legs...the baby in a car debate I feel is useless too Its not a big deal if the window is down and 1 vent is blowing out. However if a parent is smoking with no windows down that is mean but its still their right.
