Smoking Ban In Cars With Kids One Step Closer To Law
A proposal to ban smoking in cars with children inside,
to be heard Wednesday in the state Senate's health committee, is the third bill
in three months that has taken California's Legislature into arenas some say
are better left to parents. The first would have outlawed spanking, and
debate continues over whether to mandate vaccinating seventh-grade girls
against a sexually transmitted disease that causes cervical cancer. California is one of at
least 16 states considering bans on smoking in cars with children present. Critics call it the ultimate in "nanny government." Even if
smoking around children is a bad idea, it isn't the government's job to stop
people from doing it, Walter Williams, a conservative commentator who has
written about the nanny state told the SF Chronicle. "If we justify things
on the basis of what's good for people, there's no end in sight," said
Williams, an economics professor at George
Mason University
in Fairfax, Va.
