I think that people should not smoke in vehicles when kids are on board. It is absolutely wrong!
My cousin says smoking would be like licking an ash-tray full of ashes. Cigarettes are full of millions of chemicals that hurt people's lungs, and they make people sick and die. No one should be exposed to second-hand smoking, not even other adults. How would you like it if you were sitting around a campfire and smoke was blowing in your face? Well it would be bad for your health and it would sting your eyes. If only the stupid government would stop selling them! The government gets enough tax money from other things that they sell, so why can't they cut out the big 'money maker'? I think it should be illegal and so should everybody else! I want smoking to be banned and I want it done soon. I'm nine years old and if I'm writing all this stuff, then believe me it's true. Smoking also rots your teeth.
