. Is smoking in a car with Children bad?!


Question: . Is smoking in a car with Children bad?
I am having an argument with a friend. She says that smoking in the car with the windows rolled up and the children in the car is bad. I think that rolling the windows down is worse because there is car exhaust and other bad stuff that could hurt my children outside.

who is right?

Answers:

Just stop smoking- save money and dont get arrested for child abuse.



I would say that the exhaust fumes are the lesser of two evils in this situation, everybody knows that breathing in tobacco smoke is not beneficial to health, but I think that all the mass-media hype has made it a little bit worse than it really is. My entire family smokes in our house, its quite a big house but literally all of us smoke. My dad, grandad, mum, grandma, sister, sister 2, brother, brother 2, uncle, auntie are all smokers. My dad is a chain-smoker, my grandad smokes 10 pipes a day, my brother is on 20 a day, I smoke about 2/3rds of a pack a day, my grandma is over 90 and still smokes a pack a day, my grandad is 87. None of us are ridden with tumours, we all have our own teeth and they are white, you know, I just really think it's all blown out of proportion. Just open the window a little bit if it worries you, plus, the smoke can gradually penetrate the material on the ceiling of the car, and it's not so easy to clean off of the roof-carpet.



You apparently don't know a thing or two, or anything for that matter, about child health. You should never smoke around children. ESPECIALLY children under the age of 4. RSV is a very serious illness and can cause death. It can be caused by smoke inhalation. Call your childs pediatrician and PLEASE post the response he/she gives you.

I wouldn't dream of smoking in the care with or with children or anyone else in the car.
It is very bad for them as well as for yourself.



cigarette smoke is going to hurt your children more than outside fumes. its a form of child abuse. they arent asking to inhale it.



considering your children are exposed to second-hand smoke, yes, it is bad.

common sense



Of Course It's Bad.. Children Has A Potential To Follow you to smoke ! And YOu Poisoning the child's air.. they taking breathe with smoke..



it's so bad that many states have passed laws prohibiting smoking in the car when a minor is present



its not only bad it can be considered child abuse and in some states is even illegal



Cigarettes are bad for kids... If you love them you'll use an ashtray instead.
