Britain will soon ban smoking in cars with children. Britain's government wants to reduce harm cigarette smoke does to children. New laws will cut chances of children passive smoking. This is when someone breathes in smoke from cigarette. Many studies say passive smoking can almost be as harmful as actually smoking cigarette. British government said it looked at research that found children who sat in smoke-filled cars had health problems. Britain's leader David Cameron said problem is particularly bad in cars because there is so little space, so car fills with smoke very quickly. new law will make it illegal for anyone to smoke in car that has a child in it.

Not everyone agrees with new law. Some lawmakers say it takes away freedom for people to smoke in their own car. They believe people should be able to smoke in their car because there are so many public places where smoking is not allowed. few lawmakers said they were worried government might make ban wider in future, so no one could smoke in car. However, Britain's health minister said health of children was more important than freedom to smoke. He told reporters: " liberty to smoke in your car in front of child doesn't seem to me that important and protecting child's health does seem to me to be incredibly important."
