The U.S goverment should consider banning smoking in the car. Two major reasons stated in the article are the second-hand smoking and the driving safety. For instance, Kaplan (2011) stated the major reason is to avoid the danger of intensely concentrated secondhand smoke in the car. In fact, she gave some data to diccuss the risk of secondhand smoke (par.5). In addtion, she argued that smoking while driving is not safety since the driver could lost their attention (par.6). The author also acknowledged that the doctors in the BMA report prefer to focus on the distracted driver as a main reason to ban smoking in the car rather than the secondhand smoke.
