The National Post Reports:
Nova Scotia became the first Canadian province Thursday to ban smoking in vehicles with children under the age of 19. The new legislation follows a similar, history-making law the Nova Scotia community of Wolfville passed in November.Ontario and British Columbia have also recently introduced similar bills to ban smoking in cars with children.
The new law will come into effect in January, will likely be police-enforced and involve a fine levied through a ticket system.
We will continue to keep you posted on developments.

For some time now, proposals were being made to impose ban on smoking in cars with kids. In the countries like the US and the UK where smoking is nothing less than epidemics, these proposals were taken and even bills were passed to the effect. Now, even in Australia where smoking is not that rampant, similar laws have been passed where one can’t drive and smoke with kids. The laws would come into effect from the 1st of September 2008. http://www.chantixhome.com
