Smoking cigarettes in the car pollutes the air that your children breathe

• Smoking one cigarette in the car with all the windows up is 50 times worse than Christchurch’s most polluted winter day
• Smoking one cigarette in the car with all the windows up and with the air conditioning on is five times worse than Christchurch’s most polluted winter day
• Even with the car windows down, smoking one cigarette in the car is two times worse than Christchurch’s most polluted winter day
• A wind the strength of a tornado would be needed to clear all the cigarette smoke from your car
