MONTREAL — Quebec is considering a law that would ban smoking in a vehicle in the presence of a minor.
Health Minister Yves Bolduc supports a proposal put forward during a provincial Liberal council meeting in Montreal this past weekend.
He brushed off concerns that the eventual legislation could be criticized for trampling on individual rights.
He says lighting up is a choice but inhaling second-hand smoke often isn't.
In 2006, Quebec banned smoking in public places, notably bars and restaurants, and intends to review the law in 2010.
Nova Scotia was the first province to ban smoking in a vehicle with a minor present, followed by Ontario and British Columbia.

I applaud the budget, even though Health Care and education may stay unscathed. Sadly this cannot last and I worry to later this year where cuts will become enviable. If anything, this provides the Wildrose Alliance plenty of ammo when an election is called.
