The bill, passed by the Assembly Appropriations Committee and now on its way to the full Assembly, would lead to fines up to $96. The author, Assemblyman Marco Firebaugh, D-South Gate, and other supporters said the bill would give children "much-needed protections" against health problems caused by breathing tobacco smoke. "The United States Environmental Protection Agency has declared secondhand smoke as a human carcinogen and has indicated that there is no safe level of such exposure," said Paul Knepprath, a lobbyist for the American Lung Association. He likened the bill to laws that require young children to ride in special protective seats when in moving vehicles.

For Patients College Health Tips from the University of Iowa's Student Health Service Smoking When Drinking Sarah Hansen, M.A., C.H.E.S. Health Educator Student Health Service First Published: 2003 Last Revised: December 2003 Peer Review Status: Internally Reviewed I smoke occasionally, generally only when I go out on the weekends. Am I doing long-term damage to myself? Possibly. No one starts out to become an addicted smoker. In fact, especially on a college campus, many students who smoke numerous cigarettes don't even consider themselves smokers, because they don't smoke daily, don't buy their own, or only smoke when drinking. However, only 1 in 10 people actually have the "luxury" of being non-addicted social smokers, known as "chippers." It is a rare person indeed who has a few cigarettes a week and never sees that use increase. The others are forming solid addictive patterns that are leading in the direction of more frequent or even daily smoking. Most definitions of a smoker agree that if you can answer "yes" to the following questions, you've "joined the club": "Have you smoked at least 100 cigarettes in your lifetime?"
