Proceeding contribution from Patricia Hewitt (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 29 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill.

Health Bill

Some 95 per cent. of deaths that are related to second-hand smoking occur as a result of smoking in the home. That is where the real problem lies. It is why we have to continue to invest in the smoking cessation programmes and, more generally, to raise awareness so that adults who choose to smoke do not do so either in their homes, where their children might be present, or, indeed, in their cars. Unfortunately, about a third of parents who smoke do so in the car when their children are with them.
