Stop Smoking in Cars: Time for Legislation

Exposure to cigarette smoke in the confined space of a car is a serious threat to children's health. Yet every day many children in Quebec are forced to ride in smoke-filled cars.

You can help change this. Support our campaign to make cars smoke-free for kids!

Children who are exposed to second-hand smoke are at higher risk for many health problems like asthma, ear infections, and sudden infant death syndrome. Kids' immune systems and lung function aren't fully developed, so they have a harder time recovering from smoke exposure. And kids are powerless to act. They lack the authority to prevent people from smoking in a vehicle.

The Quebec Lung Association is asking you to support this campaign, to urge the provincial government to adopt legislative measures, with a view to prohibiting people from smoking in vehicles with children on board. It only takes a minute to add your voice to ours, and in the process you'll help thousands of children in Quebec breathe easier.
