These parents should be properly educated about second-hand smoking. Their children's lungs will be affected because of their smoking habits! Yes, there is a need for smoke free cars so that infants and children are protected.

Parents know best
I'm afraid that the proposal to ban smoking in cars occupied by children represents an
unwarranted intrusion into the privacy and autonomy of parenthood. The autonomy to
make one's own decision about risks to subject a child to is not to be interfered with lightly.
It should only be done in cases where there is a substantial threat of severe harm
to the child. Interfering with parental autonomy in a case where there is only minor
risk involved is unwarranted.
