Oh, I totally understand not wanting people smoking around you. I do smoke, but only outside on my back deck & never in the car when my girls are with me. Just because I expose myself to the chemicals doesn't mean I want my girls exposed to them. We won't eat in a smoky restaurant with them either. A lot of restaurants are now smoke free around here, several of the cities have passed laws that you can't smoke in restaurants, bars, public buildings, government buildings, etc. For some reason my city hasn't, it's come up several times but it keeps getting voted down. I live in Hamilton County, IN and it's one of the richest counties in IN (I'm not rich, I just live here! lol) so it's hard to understand how the law hasn't been passed here yet. I also heard from someone in KY that it's illegal to smoke in your car. I can't figure that one out, and it seems like it would be hard to catch people doing it.
And, I do drink occasionally but not often. My cousin was in an accident w/ a drunk driver when he was 18 and he was in a coma for a while. It was a very scary time and it makes you think about things. If I want to drink I make sure I'm not driving and if I am driving I just don't drink. Since I drink so rarely I can tell a difference in my reaction time with just one drink. It's just not worth taking the chance, plus it's so stinkin' expensive to drink at a restaurant!
