The facts
Since 1st October 2015 it has been against the law to smoke in a car with anyone under 18 present. The law was introduced to protect young people from secondhand smoke.
Children exposed to secondhand smoke are at increased risk of health issues such as bronchitis, asthma symptoms and middle ear infections (glue ear).
