I was driving home one day this week and I saw something that made me VERY angry ...
What could possibly make you VERY angry you ask???
There was a women, who was driving an older vehicle. She was driving very aggressively, weaving in and out of rush hour traffic. Not a big deal right? Well, it is ... aggressive driving is the cause of many accidents and accident related mortalities. Oh, but it gets worse ... I notice that she has a baby strapped into a car seat in the back ... And even worse, I notice that she is smoking in the car ... WITH THE WINDOWS ROLLED UP!
WTF?!?!
I cannot believe that with all of the knowledge we now have about the danger of smoking, that ANYONE would (A) smoke in their car with the windows rolled up, or (B) smoke around children. Never mind driving in a dangerous fashion, especially in heavy traffic, with a kid in the car!
I think that anyone that smokes with children in the car, windows rolled up or not, should be charged with child endangerment and have their children removed from their care. Not only are you killing yourself, but you are killing someone who is unable to make their own choice. This also goes for parents who smoke in a vehicle that children will ride in ... cigarette smoke clings to things. Does your child really need to get 2nd hand smoke from their car seat or the seat they sit in?????
That really pisses me off!!!! So for all you parents out there who smoke ... wait the five freaking moments until you can smoke away from your children. Better yet, make the decision to quit for their and your health. They will thank you for it and you will thank you for it too.
