A recent change in the law has been announced that may occur where people will not be allowed to smoke in the car?

 

The reason that the law may actually come into play is simply because 2 million children in the UK have to put up with smoking parents and the car is a very small place. Although they cannot stop people from smoking in their own homes the car is a more confined space and smoking with children or even adults in the car could cause them serious health problems.

 

There really is no need at all for a parent to be smoking anywhere near a child and it is pretty disgusting that so many parents do this as it just is not fair on the poor child. The shocking thing is that everything from breathing problems, ear infections, meningitis and even cot death can be blamed on parents smoking.

 

Although the problem lies at home with passive smoking causing over 300,000 visits to the GP every year I just do not think a ban could be legalised in the home. Many people say that cars are their own private space and that a ban of smoking would not be right.

 

I understand this point completely and feel that as long as there are not any children or people in the car that don’t mind you smoking then it should be fine. There are also a lot of people out there that think that people should not even be smoking in sight of any children. I do not know of any parents out there that want there children to grow up smoking.

 

Smoking in the car also causes distractions and if you total your car and don’t have something likegap insurance you are going to find yourself looking at bad credit car loans and bad credit car finance.
