    Yep, it's illegal if the kid is under 16.
    I don't care if you smoke, even around me.
    But around kids is a different story...

    Too bloody right it is, I reckon there should be a 100m exclusion zone around me as well, I just about have to break out the ventolin when I smell smoke , ....... including campfire smoke

    feeding kids maccas and fast food should be illegal too, not that I'm any example as I could do with dropping 15kg.

    That's the thing though, and it's countered in the same way by people who think alcohol should be banned full stop.
    A bit of maccas or something every once in a while isn't going to do a whole lot of damage, same as a drink every now and then. There's not a safe level of smoking, there's no benefit in it whatsoever.
    But yes, if you're stuffing your kids with rubbish every week (i.e to excess) then yeah, that's an issue.
