The Daily PollLEGISLATION IS BEING proposed to ban smoking in cars when there are children present.
Senators John Crowne, Jillian van Turnhout and Mark Daly are drafting the legislation and hope to put it forward in the Seanad next month. Van Turnhout said today she hopes that gardaí would impose a fine on motorists who are caught smoking when children are present in the car.
However, critics would argue that the legislation goes too far in dictating what a person can and cannot do in their own car whilst driving. As well as that some believe that the ban would be difficult for authorities to enforce.
But what do you think? Should smoking in a car when children are present be banned or is such legislation unnecessary?
