A huge topic that is being widely discussed right now in many parts of the world but mainly in Canada right now is to make driving healthier. For all of you smokers out there this will affect you deeply and I feel it's sort of entering a restriction zone on people's rights. Now I feel that it's everyone's right to smoke if they want as it's their health and although it harms others just as much I don*t feel the new law that is being proposed is fair.

The law is suppose to ban smoking in cars with children, now if you*re driving with your children I feel you have the right to smoke in your car, but many government officials are now starting to say they want to pass this law as quickly as possible.

Smoking is very bad for children's health and they are a lot more susceptible to actually taking in second hand smoke then an adult, and while there organs are still developing it can be very unhealthy. I don*t think that banning smoking in cars is going to help though.

I can understand when smoking is banned in public places but when it's your own vehicle then I don*t think there should be a ban allowed to be placed on this. If you*re a smoker this could be the chance to finally quit smoking because by the looks of it you won*t be allowed smoking outside of your own home shortly.

There are lots of ways I also like this law though because many people want to quit smoking but don*t have the will power. I feel that if they start getting a couple tickets for smoking in their car then they might reconsider smoking at all. The ban is coming in time for the summer travelers because the worst thing for children to breath in the whole way to the cottage is hot smoggy second hand smoke. If you plan on traveling this summer you'll definitely need to make sure that the smoking ban isn*t in affect where you'll be because if it is make sure that you*re not caught smoking with children because it will be a fine.

The law will definitely make some non-smoking parent happier to see that something is being done about the polluted air everyone has to breathe in. Children who are old enough to realize what is going on will also I*m sure be very happy with the new law. Most children hate when their parents smoke in the car, and I know I always I did when I was a kid but there was nothing preventing them at the time. Now with this new ban taking affect in different regions we will be able to see how this works.

I still don*t think a lot of people will be happy with this new ban because it sort of is taking away space that they own. Well just need to wait and see if anything big comes from this newly discussed topic.
