Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, given the serious consequences for children who are exposed to second-hand smoke, one might imagine that adults who smoke around children are unaware of the dangers. However, studies suggest that adults are aware of those risks. Mr. Speaker, we know that the best protection for children would result if the smokers would quit. In the meantime, we must make every effort to make sure that our children's health and safety are protected. Children, in particular, do not choose to breathe other people's tobacco smoke. Their right to grow up in an environment free of tobacco smoke must be safeguarded. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
