vehicle? 3 states in Australia, 4 in Canada, 4 in the US, and some other jurisdictions, make it an offence to smoke in a car if there is a child in the car.

I would personally love to see this become law, as my parents seem to think it is acceptable to get into a small metal box with my daughter and smoke like chimneys. I would hope they would need to be fined, but if they were, I hope they would be fined the maximum the law permits.
