I get so, so angry when I see parents smoking at kids' events. My personal favorite is at the park, when I see them puffing with one hand and pushing their kid on the swing with the other!

The thing is, I used to smoke---right up until the day I found out I was pregnant with AG, and then I quit. So I totally agree with you on the personal choice issue. And even if people are smoking outside, say, a restaurant and I have to walk past them w/my kids, that doesn't really bother me, either. We just make a wide detour, lol.

But kids' events, even if they're outside? Come on. I don't see how any parent can justify that to themselves.

Oh yeah - tell those inconsiderate, ignorant parents to stop polluting the air. I would - but then I'm a grandma - and as you get older, you care less about what others think.
So - step up to those folks and politely point to the No Smoking Sign and all the rest of the parents will probably give you a standing ovation! I would.
And - thanks for the comment on my blog.

That is probably one of the best posts you have wrote. Excellent job.
I agree fully with you and your opinions. Thank god Illinois is not a no smoking in public facilities place now.
