Bill Title- Ban Smoking Around Children

Purpose- The purpose is to get people to stop smoking around their children. If you smoke when you're pregnant the baby can have health issues. While a child is around a person who smokes they can be affected by having asthma, bronchitis, and other illnesses. If a child has an illness like cystic fibrosis they may have trouble breathing, short of breath, coughing, makes you feel sick, the smell can make you sick and many other side effects. The worst kind of smoking is secondhand smoke because you breathe it in when it's in the air. Children will breathe in secondhand smoke when they are around people who smoke.

Eligibility- This bill is for everyone who is affected by their parents smoking. This bill is also for everyone who smokes or smokes around their children. The bill is also applies for anyone and everyone who wants to stop smoking. We also need to get children to stop breathing in the smoke and to make sure that they don’t start at a teenager age. Please protect your children from the dangers of secondhand smoke, by providing then with a smoke free air to breathe! They depend on you.

Terms and Benefits - Parents have to go to counseling to quit smoking. Parents will have to take a breath test to make sure they have quit smoking. If parents are caught smoking they will be fined $500. This money will go towards maintaining the smoking ban.
