🚭Protect your children from second-hand smoke

Smoking in a car with a child under the age of 18 present is against the law, because cigarette smoke can make them seriously ill. Breathing in second-hand smoke increases children’s risk of asthma, sudden infant death syndrome and cancer.

Children breathe faster than adults, their airways are smaller and their organs are still developing, making second-hand smoke especially harmful for them.

Protect your children by making your car and home smokefree.
The best solution is to give up smoking completely.
