Smoke-Free Ride

The Smoke-free Vehicles law prohibits smoking in vehicles when children under the age of 16 are present.

The law aims to protect children from second-hand smoke, as they are especially vulnerable to its toxic chemicals. Second-hand smoke in vehicles is more concentrated and can be up to 27 times greater than in the home of a person who smokes.
