wow i was keeping out of this but my god man just the smell made a child act different??? i'm an asthmatic, have been my whole life.....and i have been in the in the presence of many many smokers.....it has never once effected my behavior, nor has breathing it in at any time effected me to the point i couldnt get away from it and be fine......smoking is what people make it it.....i choose as an asthmatic and non smoker to not make a big deal of it, if its too much to bare i leave......this has happened so little i can barely remember a time off hand......i'de rather deal with cigarette smoke than an air freshener used to cover it up to be honest (which is about as healthy as a cigarette)........and to not be around family because they smoke.....wow......cant think of anything let alone a cigarette that should come between family.......moderation my friend... i'm not typing this to fight....you dont like it thats your prerogative.....you dont think its right to expose others.....understandable, to condemn a group for it, or a few who may light up in a car once and a while with a window down, is like attacking responsible quadders who ride with they're kids....both have their risks and are preventable.....but people still do it.......you can look at anything as harmful, and preventable and not necessary, but why judge others.......do you drive 110km/hr with your kids at all times.....do you let them watch tv, do you let them ride a bike.....drink pop.....eat chips..........run on gravel..........stand by a camp fire........sit on and idling quad......like i said anything can be seen as harmful in someones eyes............
No if people want to smoke in private places, homes whatever I don't care. As far as establishments....i'm both sides. I think they should have the freedom to choose if they want it or not but I am sure happier to not have to worry about smoking when i'm in a bar or lounge. Most places were happy in the end, because they got MORE business. I have family that smokes, I hate it so much I won't even be around them because I won't put up with the smoke. I refuse to work near people who smoke. It's for health, and I just HATE the smell. So the big reason my kids will never be around it is I won't be around it.
I know it's not the biggest risk or even close, but it's preventable and NO reason for it. My 20 month old nephew was exposed to it.....and I couldn't believe how much different he acted for a few hours after. I can tell you, it is the first and last time he will be around someone who smokes. They weren't even smoking around him it was just them smelling after.
WCB is a joke plain and simple.
