Putting the brakes on smoking in cars: February 11, 2019

The government has announced a ban on smoking in cars when people under the age of 18 are present. The ban has been a long time coming, with the select committee recommending in 2016 that the then National Government introduce it. Despite them not doing so, it appears most parties are in agreement that the ban, which includes cigarettes as well as vapes, is the right move. Lachlan spoke with Children’s Commissioner Andrew Becroft about the ban.
