Stop that smoking car!

(Disponible en anglais seulement.)

Wolfville, Nova Scotia has become the first municipality in Canada to ban smoking in any automobile that's carrying a minor. The town's seven councillors voted unanimously in November 2007, to support the bylaw. The new rule will come into effect June 1, 2008.

Comment: Success! Hopefully this will be the first of many smoking bans in vehicles to come.
