Extend Smoking Ban to cars in which children are travelling

Additional Information

Smoking is well recognised as the single major cause of preventable death and ill health in the UK. Research evidence since the 1950's puts this beyond doubt. Similarly, research evidence confirms the adverse impact of breathing in second-hand smoke. However the law at present permit people to inflict such smoke on young children travelling with smokers in cars. Such children are not in a position to protect themselves. It follows therefore that the State should put in place such controls. The rights of children to protect their health should be put in front of the so-called “rights of smokers”.
