Sorry, this may have been brought up a while ago, but now they want to do it in the whole state of Maine? I was just wondering what people thought of it. Sorry, its not a ban of smoking, just smoking in cars with minors in the car. Do I smoke with my children in the car, nope, but how can you tell somebody how to raise their child like that? Simply crazy. I love the state of maine, but sometimes they can go a little over board. Maybe its for the national attention, maybe just because it is for the "greater good" either way, too much for me. Sorry guys...

To some extent I feel they might be right as far as trying to keep people from smoking in their cars with kids in them. But that should be common sence. I am a heavy smoker and try like hell not to smoke in tha car with the kids. But some times I do with all the windows down and the sun roof opened. Every where is a long trip from Lubec. Walmart is almost an hour away. To make it a law is foolish how ever. If pulled pver for something real like speeding and shamed for smoking in the car with the kids would be more appropriate. Next we wont be able to smoke in our homes or yards. We will need to build under ground bunkers for smokeing rooms. Some times politics and common sence are way too far appart.
