[...] 1) In the interest of seeing who actually supports and who opposes smoking restrictions, we further looked into that Bangor, Maine city council vote to ban smoking in vehicles with children that we reported in last week’s sampler. According to the Bangor paper, the vote was 6-3. Now, the council is nominally nonpartisan, but naturally most members are politically affiliated. The three who opposed the measure were one Democrat, one Republican, and one politician who e-mailed to say that he has “not been enrolled in any party for many years” but in the past had been registered as both a Democrat and Republican, depending on which primary he wanted to vote in.

Enforcement always seems to be an issue with these smoking bans. Funny, isn't it? The government has a hard time figuring out how to force people to behave they way they want us to.

Banning smoking in your own vehicle. Now that is absurd. I don't see how they enforce that. Do they pull you over and ask for the kid's ID? I'd just keep smoking and pay the fine. What about convertibles, would they be exempt? What's the difference between 16 and 19. They are going to have you believe that those under 18 are powerless captives to the evil smoker but those 18 and over it's fine to smoke up a storm in the car. More bogus crap. I suppose it's the only way Bangor can ever be a leader at anything other than knats and frost heaves.
