Just thought I would pass along to anyone traveling to Nova Scotia, Canada that if you are driving a car with a child under the age of 19 and you are smoking, you stand to be fined. Nova Scotia is the first province in Canada to introduce this legislation...and is one step closer to making NS a healthier place to live.
Anyone know of similar legislation that may take affect in your area??

Meg, I hate to break it to you but on Thursday the NS Provinicial government passed the legislation for the WHOLE province...they followed in Wolfville's footsteps. The law goes into affect January 1st. Just google "smoking cars nova scotia" and you'll find a million articles about. Also visit www.gov.ns.ca for the law.

Ontario wants to introduce it, only it would affect children under 16.

My dad smoked 3 packs a day around my mom, my sister and I, and that includes rides in the car, and we all survived. Why? Because it's not as harmful as hypochondriacs make it out to be. Nobody is the product of second of hand smoke. A product? Where did you come from? Wal-mart? Look at most of you? Are you dead yet? Because most of you claim that your parent(s) smoked around you in the car. But yet, here you are whining about it. So it can't be as harmful as you claim. Or you would be hooked up to breathing machines, trying to catch your last breath. That's the way you talk any way. As for this law, how would it work? Are you going to have the police sit in every car, making sure people don't light up? You know how crazy that sounds? If by some chance it ever gets passed, the police will never enforce it. They have real criminals to catch. So stop worrying about smokers, and start worrying about child molesters and child abusers. They're the real criminals.

Given that vehicles with out of province of plates aren't usually given parking tickets in Nova Scotia, I doubt the cops are going to be all over tourists who smoke.

Yes, New Brunswick is thinking of doing the same. It will spread to other provinces eventually.
