Statesman Journal--
The ban for smokers started in a few cities and then became statewide for bars and restaurants. But as the way government goes, once it has a victory it is never satisfied.
I'm referring to an Associated Press story where lawmakers are considering House bill 2385, banning smoking in cars with children on board.
The proposed law would carry a $90.00 fine for the first offense, $360 penalty for a third offense for an adult smoking in a vehicle with anyone younger than 17 years of age.
Supporters of the measure argue that the state must protect children's health because with their lungs still developing they are more vulnerable to secondhand smoke.
