No Smoking on Board

While New York's smoking ban in bars and restaurants went too far in regulating privately owned space, I appreciated the benefits of having smoke-free havens. But a bill pending in the New York Assembly would even prohibit smoking in your car. Granted this is only for folks with kids, but still it's an utterly ridiculous measure. The government is trying to regulate what you do in a place you bought, you maintain and on top of that, it's trying to do the parenting for you.
