I REALLY hope this law passes.

How can someone do this with a kid in the car?

If you drive drunk with a child in the car, you should be beaten for 30 days (I would say killed, but then they lose a parent).

Smoking with a child in the car should be the felony

so wait, im having a hard time understanding this story...someone (maybe a friends parent or something) was driving this guy's daughter around while they were drunk, got in an accident, and she was killed?

Agreed, exposing a child to second-hand smoke should be completely illegal.

Driving drunk should be a felony anyway.

You're an idiot. edit: I should say, if you knew the stats behind second-hand smoke that you think you do, you wouldn't be saying this.



Also, the majority of DUI's are given between the hours of 6 and 10am. Not a lot of people realize that even after 8 or even 10 hours of sleep you can blow a .08 or higher. I'm for making this a felony, but it would have to be in certain circumstances.

Apparently you are looking at shoddy statistics Get some better facts

• Babies of mothers who smoked and those exposed to smoke are more likely to die from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) than babies who are not exposed to smoke.
• Babies of mothers who smoked and those exposed to smoke after birth have weaker lungs and thereby increased risk of more health problems.
• Children with asthma exposed to secondhand smoke experience more frequent and severe attacks.
• Children exposed to secondhand smoke are at increased risk for ear infections and are more likely to need an operation to insert ear tubes for drainage.
• Secondhand smoke exposure causes respiratory symptoms, including cough, phlegm, wheeze, and breathlessness, among school-aged children.
• Children who breathe secondhand smoke are more likely to experience pneumonia, bronchitis and decreased lung function.

http://entnet.org/HealthInformation/...hand-Smoke.cfm

Children's exposure to secondhand smoke is responsible for:

1. increases in the number of asthma attacks and severity of symptoms in 200,000 to 1 million children with asthma;
2. between 150,000 and 300,000 lower respiratory tract infections (for children under 18 months of age); and,
3. respiratory tract infections resulting in 7,500 to 15,000 hospitalizations each year.

if they do that, it might be a good thing for the child

In ontario its illegal to smoke with a child in the car.
Too bad it hasent been passed here yet, I cant FKN stand it anymore.

I thought you were against government interfering with every aspect of your life?

I'm under the assumption it was his wife driving? He mentions how he has no one left, so that's the only conclusion I can come to. But I do not know.

I thought he was just against government stepping on his constitutional rights

too bad even if that law passes, it's only in NY (I know driving is state-regulated). I have no sympathy for drunk drivers, there's never a good reason to do so.

man.. and here I am feeling bad about any child even seeing smoke... or smoking around people who dont.

agreed. think how many lives would be saved...its sad its only a felony after somebody gets hurt, seems kind of backwards to me.

to me driving drunk is no different then shooting bullets down the street, you are creating great opportunity to injure/kill somebody
