Make your car smoke-free

Secondhand smoke in a cars and other vehicles is toxic

A small space can make secondhand smoke even more dangerous to children, pets and passengers.

• Even with the driver's window slightly open, Secondhand smoke levels can hit levels rated "hazardous" by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
• With a passenger window fully open in a car traveling at 20 miles per hour, smoking will raise the average level of toxic secondhand smoke particles to twice the unhealthy level.
• Under the same conditions, secondhand smoke levels can reach nearly ten times the unhealthy level.

Tips on making sure that the air in your car is safe for all passengers:

• Do not smoke in your car
• Declare your vehicles smoke-free
• Ask passengers not to smoke in your car
