SMOKE-FREE ONTARIO: Smoking in Cars
SMOKING IN CARS LEGISLATION
The Ontario government introduced legislation that, if passed, would ban smoking in motor vehicles with children present.
Second-hand smoke in motor vehicles can be up to 27 times more concentrated than in a smoker’s home.
Children who breathe second-hand smoke are more likely to suffer health problems such as sudden infant death syndrome, asthma, and cancer and cardiac disease later in life.
Second-hand smoke can also influence a child's ability to reason and understand, and can negatively impact behaviour and attention span.
