We interrupt the regularly scheduled entry for this news flash

I've always wanted to travel the Trans-Canada Highway from start to finish and while browsing their website while eating some really bad Chef Boyardee mac & cheese, I found this little bit of info:

TRAVEL NOTE: Nova Scotia, Ontario and British Columbia now have laws that prohibits smoking in a car when there is a child (under 18 years old) in the vehicle. Similar laws are expected to be passed in other provinces.

I wonder how often this is enforced or how many kids are now made to sit on the floor in the back of the vehicle.

If I were you, I would grab a niece or nephew to take along just so you can have a smoke free journey.

Thankfully that's not needed. I would thinking traveling with a kid would lead you need a smoke or even a drink. Smoking does still seem quite popular at least in the regions of Ontario that I've been. I guess with their free health care for everyone, they don't quite care as much as we do.

As a kid, my grandparents smoked in a car and I hated it--the through of breathing smoke across Canada is just too much for me--at least hiding in the floorboard, you'd be more likely to get smokeless air
