I certainly wouldn’t.

So why then should we not extend the same protection to other people and their children?
We live in a democracy (allegedly) that allows freedom of choice (allegedly)
As regards passive smoking it's not nice and you smell but proof of carcinogenic material and it's effects is still not 100%
If the government was really concerned consider unleaded petrol which contains aromatic benzene which is also carcinogenic and HM Government are doing not a lot about that
Then consider particulates from diesel engines which are also carcinogenic and again not much action from HMG
How about plasticizers which leach from plastic products and so it goes

The sad fact is no one gets out of life alive
