Bangor, Maine Makes It Illegal to Smoke in Cars

Okay, I can sort of go with you with the banning of smoking in public buildings but remind me now who exactly is at risk if I light up a cigarette in my car?

The Bangor City Council approved a measure Monday that prohibits people from smoking in vehicles when children are present.

Ah, it's all making sense now. You have to wait until you get home to smoke near children.

People who smoke with children present in the confined space of a car or truck might as well be deliberately trying to kill those children, said City Councilor Patricia Blanchette, who is a smoker.

And if I am?

"Let's step up to the plate and lead; our children are worth the fight," she said.

I don't know, ever heard one of them try to read?
