BAN SMOKING IN CARS WITH CHILDREN?
We can't smoke in the office or the pub, but we can still smoke in the car when we're travelling with children.

You can't inflict this on your colleagues at work any more. Why should we treat our children's health as a lower priority than our employees? Unfortunately, parents in the UK have smoked around their children for generations.

New Brunswick is the latest province in Canada to introduce legislation banning smoking in cars with children. This change in legislation will prohibit smoking in a car when there is a child under the age of 16 in it.

Second-hand smoke has been found to be strongly linked to chest infections in children, asthma, ear problems and sudden infant death syndrome, or cot death.

Should we ban smoking in cars with children in the UK? Read the BBC news article for more information and then say what you think.
