Researchers issue new warning on risks of smoking near babies

Damn it! Another news headline that I completely guessed wrong about the content of the article on.

'Babies and children are routinely exposed to cigarette smoke by their carers in the home without the legislative protection available to adults in public places,' says the article by researchers from the University of Leicester medical school, and Warwick University.

I thought for certain that the number one risk of smoking near babies was getting beaten to death by uptight mothers. Or if you ash on the kid he'll rupture your ear drums screaming. It's my own fault. The headline does say new warning.

Ooo, legislative protection. I love legislative protection. Some day in the not too distant future everyone will be legislatively protected from everything. Then it won't be long until everything else becomes legislatively mandated. I can't wait until I no longer have to use my brain, just a lawyer, which is really quite the opposite. (Sorry TB)
