Smoking
in the car, even in a state of open windows or air conditioning alive,
still creates pollution beyond the'' safe'' according to a new study.
Every kid who sat in the back seat when someone is smoking in front of the window will still be exposed even opened.
Report of the journal Tobacco Control in a measurement of 85 car trips in Scotland found that pollution caused solve the set limit to the World Health Organization (WHO).
British Medical Association said all smokers in cars should be banned.
Children are considered the most vulnerable because they have a faster breathing, immune system less and most are not able to escape from or avoid passive smoking, said Dr Sean Semple of the University of Aberdeen.
By using a tool that is installed in the back seat, the researchers recorded and analyzed the air quality in a number of trips to the range of duration of 10 minutes to an hour.
For 49 of the 85 trips, the driver smoked more than four cigarettes.
Smoked for 49 trips, the number reached is 85μg/m3, over three times the limit safe for 25μg/m3 as recommended indoor air limit set by WHO.
Even if the driver is only permitted once and opened the window, the figure remained pollution through safe limits.
The researchers in its report stated:'' The evidence from this study is that passive smoking in a car filled with cigarette smoke are the ones who are very prone to health problems.''
"We believe that there should be clear rules to ban smoking in cars where there are children.''
Challenge
But Simon Clark, director of smokers lobby group Forest said:'' We do not encourage adults to smoke in the car if there are children, regardless of merit or not, but we refused to ban smoking in the car.''
"According to the study, 84% of adults do not smoke in the car if there are children so the rules to ban would be disproportionate.''
"In terms of civil rights, we are entering a difficult area. For some people, cars are their personal territory. If you ban smoking in cars with children, it is more logical step was to ban parents smoked in the house.
Parents should be allowed to use common sense, and most of the time they do it. No need no additional rules.''
But Professor John Britton, tobacco watchdog of the Royal College of Physicians Tobacco Advisory Group, said the ban is needed to protect children.
He said the estimated annual passive perokokk children experienced more than 20,000 cases of respiratory infections, 200 cases of bacterial meningitis, and 40 infants died suddenly.
And November of last year the British Medical Association said the ban on smoking - even though none of the passengers - in the car, would be the best way to protect children including other adults who do not smoke.
