We have to mention as well that if another adult in the car is smoking, both him and the driver risk to be fined.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">The new law protects all the children and young persons from the effects of secondhand smoke. According to the U.K. Department of Health secondhand smoke can cause meningitis, cancer, bronchitis and pneumonia. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">The health minister Luciana Berger said: &#8220;This is a great victory for child health which will benefit hundreds of thousands of young people across our country. It is a matter of child protection, not adult choice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">The law doesn&#8217;t apply in the following cases: <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The adults are using electronic cigarettes (vaping)<br \/>\n&#8211; The adults are smoking in a convertible car which has the roof down<br \/>\n&#8211; If a 17 years old driver is alone in the car<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">More details about the new law can be found on the GOV.UK website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News Flash Britain bans smoking in car with children While all the car hire companies adopted a non smoking policy since 2009 and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":25321,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Britain Ban smoking In Car With Children | Indigo Car Hire<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"In Britain, a new law has been put in place that means that you can no longer smoke if you have children in the car.
