6 Minute English - Smokers to face one more ban

Traditionally, January is an month in which people try to make them new year's resolution work. Someone is get fit, others swear they're drinking less alcohol and although he wants to stop smoking.

Many people might wish to stop smoking here in England because according to a plan, smoking in car with children will be banned on the new law performed by the government.

And similar moves has been discussed in Well, Scotland and North Ireland. Today we're talking about this new proposal. Restriction will people allowed to smoke and you'll learn some vocabulary. See if you can have your own discussion on this subject.

We usually talk about smoking as a habit. That's what we do everyday without even thinking and it's difficult to give up. Well, this ban is going to cause controversial, in other words, disagreement express in a angry public way.

Yes, smokers are trying hard to carry on and enjoy their cigarette. But there are a couple of places lost the battle, Rob.

And what's that?

I'm giving you a chance to tell me. Bans on smoking in car with children are present already exist in some regions of particular countries. Is it
(a) French capital Paris
(b) In some US states
(c) In Greece

I don't know but I want to go for b, in some US states.

OK, we'll have the answer to that question at the end of the programme. Now let's hear the argument in favor of the ban. Here is doctor XXXX. He is the director of Tobago control collaboration center which works for the World health Organization.

The World Health Organization is campaigning to discourage people from smoking. Campaigning means working in organized active way to achieve an objective.

Listen out for doctor XXX called the smoke from other people's cigarette.

Those children are exposed to some house smoking caused more likely to going to a doctor with spiritual fraction more likely  to end up in hospital. Our respiration  affections are much more likely to get a wiz or actually have a asthma to that young children.

So Dr.XXX called smoking from other people's cigarette second hand smoke.Second hand is something which is had previous owner.

And she also mentions asthma. This is a illness who allow about when people disgust the effect of tobacco   smoke and pollution on people's lungs. People with asthma sometime find difficult to breathe. It faces problems of children in Europe.

Asthma, no. But when I was a kid, my brother who is much older than me, used to smoke in car. The smell is terrible. The smoke bother me a lot. And even I don't have now, I just don't like breathing smoke.

If people want to smoke, it's their personal choice. But not near me.

The proposal under discussion here in England include a fine about 50 pounds. That's about 80 US dollar. Imposed on the driver in the car, if somebody smoking when there is child passenger.

A fine is a money you pay as a punishment for having brokering  a law. And driver is responsible even if there is person smoking in car. This already cause conflict.

Probably well. But it's difficult to find anyone who doesn't defend child's right be healthy. Children are vulnerable. Vulnerable means they are exposed to harm and can't defend their selves. we have to protect them. Many smoker see this proposal with suspicion.

Yes, the last few years, smokers have seen restriction in their ability to smoke. In many countries, they aren't allowed smoking close public places like bars anymore. And cigarette packagers show disturbing pictures of disease lungs.

Smoking doesn't like so good anymore. One of the smoker's suspicious XXXXX, this producer driver, says she doesn't smoke when their children are on board. That's as far as she go in the green with ban.

What abjection might mean what reason of disagree if she raising?

Listen out for the two words Halley uses when talking about physic area surrounding her which she feel very personal.

If I come up a stop it with a person in car with their children are completely , are completely in someone's to the next level. Stop it if he hangs children in car. I think that's beyond people's personal spice really.

XXX talks about her personal space. It means the area around her body which she feels is hers. And if invaded, makes she feel uncomfortable. In this case XXX feels her car is her personal space, and she will be able to choose if she wants to smoke in it.

Well, this seems enforcing this ban will be a bit challenge for the authorities. There is ban on smoking inside buses but I tell you sometimes I can smell smoke from somewhere.

They breach the law at their their own parole. But other places' manager implement the ban on smoking in car with child passengers. So what's the answer to the question you put earlier in the programme, Neil.
