There are plenty of times when the window's not practical, especially when it's reeeally hot or cold, rainy, etc.
I have asthma & allergies and trust me, I don't want to be around any smoke. I love campfires, but after an evening dodging the smoke I'll cough for hours afterward.
LOL. Ummmmm, I smoke, though I don't have kids, and today I rolled the window down if I want to smoke, always do (It was mid 90's), I've never seen a smoker, smoke in a sealed vehicle with all windows up, and I was by myself even. You either don't smoke, or roll the window down. If you did try to smoke with the windows up, it'd end up looking like one of those cheech and chong scenes or one of those bar scenes. It may happen, but It's simply not something more than a small small fraction would do at best. Simply because you'd be in a smoke cloud. In 33.9 years on this earth, I've never been in a car, truck or otherwise with a smoker that lit up without rolling the window down. Seriously. Never happened.
In the rain, you generally, crack the windows down about 2 inches, 4 windows in my vehicle. The rain doesn't get in and the air flow is adequate to suck the smoke out. When a car is moving forward, you are encountering most of the rain head on and it tends to follow the car lines, as opposed to a sitting car, Very little if any gets in unless the rain is a crazy downpour, in which case you simply wouldn't smoke for 10 minutes, it doesn't happen that often.
But It could just happen that all the smokers I've been around are odd balls, I suppose.
Anyway, sounds like a lot of people just complaining to complain. There are much bigger problems affecting the poor children, than people smoking while driving.
