SB24: **Smoking Around Children** The purpose of our bill is to get people to stop smoking around their children. if you smoke when your pregnate the baby will most likley have mental issues. the worst kind of smoking is secondhand smoking because you breathe it in when its in the air. children will breathe in secondhand smoke when they are around their parents. I am proposing it because I want people to know the causes and effects about smoking around children. This bill will work because it won't affect the children with second hand smoke or cause then to have a shorter life span.People should vote for my bill because I think its important for a smoke free enviornment.
