Example: I don't let passengers smoke in my car. I consider it dangerous (to my health.) That's MY decision. If YOU want to let people smoke in YOUR car, that's YOUR business. We don't need the government to create a rule about smoking in cars, or enforce it.
Try telling that to the guy who now has lung cancer because his parents smoked in the car with him every day for his entire childhood.
