Smokefree Cars For NZ Kids

The issue

New Zealand is lagging behind other countries such as Australia, the UK, Canada and even the US when it comes to allowing smoking in cars. While some would argue it is the right of the smoker to be able to smoke in their own vehicle, we believe the rights of the children not just being exposed to, but being trapped in an enclosed space full of extremely toxic material take precedence. Wake up New Zealand. This is 2015! Let's get this issue dealt with before any more kids get sick, or worse, take up smoking themselves. Sign our Clean Air for Kids petition today, then tell everyone you know to do the same. We want every child in NZ to have the opportunity to be smokefree.
