Bangor, Me. has banned smoking in cars carrying children under 18.
How I wish I had grown up in a time and place with that law. My parents' smoking was one of the blights of my childhood -- and that's not too strong a word, considering that I had constant sinus and respiratory problems and had pneumonia when I was 8. (Of course, spending years 1-6 in an oil refinery [map] probably didn't help either.) I have vivid memories of the horror of being trapped in our Ford Fairlane with the windows rolled up and smoke filling the car, and me pleading with my mother to put it out. God, what were people thinking?
