Louise White asks listeners what helped them deal with the death of a loved one.

TOPIC 1: SMOKING IN CARS
The UK government will make it a criminal offence to smoke in cars in England when children are passengers, a Downing Street source has said. MPs voted in favour of an amendment to the Children and Families Bill, which empowers, but does not compel, ministers to bring in a ban in England. The source told the 主播大秀 Parliament had spoken and a ban would happen. The vote - passed by 376 votes to 107 - also gave the Welsh government the power to bring in a ban in Wales.

Louise asks: Would you welcome a smoking ban in cars in Scotland?

TOPIC 2: BEREAVEMENT
A father's plea to watch a video based on his dead son's Facebook page has provoked the network to look again at how families can remember loved ones. Facebook recently launched a Look Back feature that creates a video generated by popular moments on a person's profile. John Berlin posted a YouTube clip asking to see a Look Back video for his son Jesse, who died in 2012 aged 22. After the plea gained support, Facebook told Mr Berlin a video would be made. Mr Berlin said "These videos really touched me. And every time Jesse would pop up (in one of them), I was choking back tears. I just wanted so desperately to see how his video would turn out. I'm glad that we're finding purpose in Jesse's death, I can't express how much this means to me."

Louise asks: What helped you to deal with the death of a loved one?
