Sir.- It seems strange that, with all the recent publicity about protecting people from passive smoking, not one MP, Government member or children's charity has spoken up for the most vulnerable in our society.

What about all the children who are confined every day of their lives within a smoky environment i.e. their own homes?

Unlike most of us, they do not have a choice and are at the mercy of selfish adults with little regard for their health and safety.

Isn't it about time we had a law to protect them?
