LANSING (AP) - Smoky car rides to school may soon be illegal. Using a lit tobacco product in a vehicle with a person under 18 would be a civil infraction under a bill to be formally introduced tomorrow by Representative John Moolenaar of Midland.
The bill would allow police officers to pull over drivers who are smoking with children in the car. A fine for the infraction would be set by the courts.
Several studies indicate that secondhand smoke causes lung cancer in adult nonsmokers and impairs the respiratory health of children.
