Comments
This bill has been failed? Why? I am a 11 year old child and my father, grandfather, and grandmother smokes. I am at the risk of getting second-hand smoke disease. It is proven that inhaling second-hand smoke is the same as smoking 10 cigarettes. That is worst then smoking then just smoking.
Why do you need to smoke in a car anyways? It is very disgusting.
I am also an 11 year old child that has relatives that smoke. Smoking is a disgusting habit and no one likes being around it. Some people think that it does not matter because the kids are not smoking but second hand smoking has the same effect as first-hand smoking.
