    Children shouldn't be smoking full stop, whether it's in a car with their parents or behind the bike shed is irrelevant.

    Common sense law made actual law brought in to protect children from stupid people. I'm all for it.

    Who do these children think they are stopping me from smoking when I want to smoke? That's it the nephews christmas presents are going in the fire, that'll teach them.

    Even though I've now quit smoking I don't mind smoking in the car but absolutely forbid it if there is an under 18 in the car. If you don't like it, walk.

    Apparently talking on mobiles while driving is also illegal. We should just keep making stuff illegal and never doing anything whatsoever to enforce it. Tis a great plan that seems to be working well.

    A law that's actually grounded in common sense for a change - I'm all for it. Just wish it had been in place when I was a kid.

    Good news. Stupid patents smoking around kids. Legislation sound be passed that allows anybody to punch anyone else smoking in the face at any time.

    Good law. It would be great to see it enforced.

    Good. I see people do it all the time, without even opening a window either. Why can't they just wait 10-15 minutes until they get to their destination?

    Few years ago a girl in my course who was a heavy smoker got pregnant. About 2 or 3 months in she was still smoking at least a couple of fags a day, this was just while on lunch. I never said anything, neither did anyone else...her body, her choice and all that.

    That's a different discussion than people smoking in a car while there are children in it.

    Personally I'd go with addicts.

    Great law, but will never be enforced and I can imagine the amount of rows it will cause at the roadside as well when the typical Irish smart arse does their filthy look, tut and says "thats illegal you know".

    Cue aforementioned smart arse getting up ended by agitated smoker

    Well in this case the woman is the car and the child is in her. And the child can't even roll down a window..

    What you could do is give the child the fag and then take in his second hand smoke. There's no law against that.

    a waste of time money and resources. we can't afford such a law

    ticking a box on a form does not make you of a religion.

    Is that a law? the only law I've heard of is that it's illegal to sell cigarettes to children. I see young kids smoking everyday in plain sight after school and the guards have never said anything to them.
