Have your say about smoking in cars

The British Lung Foundation is calling for your support to reduce the number of children exposed to passive smoking in cars.

You can help prevent smoking in cars by taking an online pledge and committing to keeping your car smoke free.  Smoking around children in the car is particularly dangerous as it is such a confined space, and research by the University of Aberdeen has shown that smoking in a car exposes children to the same levels of smoke in a busy smoke filled pub.  Every year over 300,000 children in the UK go to their GPs with illnesses such as bronchitis and pneumonia as a result of being exposed to passive smoking.

Sign this online pledge, which will take no time at all, and make a difference.  

And if your children want to get involved and have their say, a template letter to MPs is available to download through the BLF website: http://www.lunguk.org/campaigns/childrens-charter/young-campaigners-have-your-say
