Smoke-free Cars with Kids

How toxic is the air inside a vehicle when someone is smoking? Are children really impacted by the secondhand smoke? Find out by viewing Smoke-free Cars with Kids: A Scientific Demonstration of Secondhand Smoke Exposure produced by the California Tobacco Control Program.
This cutting edge demonstration measures the dangerously high levels of fine particulate matter produced when someone is smoking in a car and discusses the damaging health effects secondhand smoke has on children. The demonstration was conducted in conjunction with the implementation of the Smoke-free Cars with Minors law that went into effect January 1, 2008. This law prohibits smoking in moving or parked cars when minors under the age of 18 years old are present.
