How Dangerous is Smoking in Cars Video
The California Tobacco Control program has produced a video, “How Dangerous is Smoking in Cars?” The video is a scientific demonstration of secondhand smoke exposure, and it shows how the air quality becomes dangerous and unhealthy in a car when someone is smoking. The demonstration was conducted to announce the implementation of California’s Smoke-free Cars with Minors Law.
Note: GASP of Colorado has opened up a new section called “Smoking in Cars” in the education Center at www.gaspforair.org
