There is no ill intent on the part of the smoker. The role of the
parents is obviously a case of depraved indifference, no different than
a pregnant mother drinking, smoking, or getting high, as parents seek
their own personal enjoyment at the expense of their kids. How
significant an hour of second hand smoke impacts a kid is another
question entirely.
