WA. Senate Bill would ban smoking in vehicle with underage passengers
Olympia, WA - A new bill is making its way through the Washington Legislature.
Senate Bill 5230 would make it illegal to smoke in your vehicle if anyone under 18, is inside.
That means pipes, cigars and cigarettes. It was introduced by Democrat Senator Paull Shin of Edmonds and would be considered a secondary offense. So a police officer couldn't pull you over for smoking, but if you were pulled over for speeding and the officer noticed you smoking, you could receive a ticket.
Five other states have already passed a similar ban, including Oregon and California.
