Smoking Should be Banned in Cars

It is undeniable that exposing children to secondhand smoke in cars or anywhere else create very serious dangers.

Many researches show evidince that secondhand smoke is unhealthy, it is a cause of many hazards too. Secondhand smoke kills tens of thousands of Americans every year. Moreover, as the New York Times and others reported, thousands of children die every year from exposure to tobacco smoke.

When one person smokes in car that can exceed the smoke pollution  level such as in a typical bar. It is very high pollution. If an adult  goes to a bar or club and someone smokes there they can leave the place or they can be given a notice, or even they can be moved out from the place. Most countries have special smoking room. It is every where when they make laws to ban smoking in public places. Adults can choose where they can stand. Whereas kids  can not  choose if some one smoke in car. Kids can not decide to leave.They can not move  away from  the source of smoke .

It is bad for kids to live with smokers because they are still developing. If they are breathing smoke they are going to absorb many chemicals. Smoke has ammonia ,tar, nicotine and some more. Secondhand smoke can cause of lung cancer,cot death, heart disease.

In the last several years many states of USA and few other countries try to make Law for smoking to be banned in cars. It is a great idea.
In my opinion every one should support this idea. Everyone should care about the new generation because they are kids.
