An automotive anti-smoking apparatus which includes at least one smoke sensor for detecting the presence of smoke located within a passenger compartment of an automobile, a beeper for emitting a beeping sound within the passenger compartment when smoke is detected, an illuminated "No Smoking" sign located on the dashboard of the automobile for flashing on and off when smoke is detected within the passenger compartment, an audio message playback device for broadcasting an anti-smoking message within the passenger compartment when smoke is detected, an adjustable engine governor for controlling the speed of the automobile when smoke is detected within the passenger compartment, an ignition control mechanism for preventing an operator from turning on the automobile while smoke is detected within the automobile, and a control circuit through which other elements of the present invention receive power and are controlled. If smoke is detected by the sensor while the automobile is in motion, the control circuit instructs: the beeper to emit a beeping sound, the dashboard sign to flash on and off, the audio message playback device to broadcast an anti-smoking message, the engine governor to, after a short delay, slow the speed of the automobile, and the ignition control mechanism not to allow the car, after it has been turned off, to be turned on again until the smoke has been cleared from the passenger compartment.
