Re: Ban smoking in cars, says British Medical Association
I'm sure it will be enforced as effectively as in England:
Quote:
Legislation introduced in October 2015 makes it illegal to smoke in a vehicle carrying someone who is under 18.
However, police forces have found it extremely difficult to enforce the law and, as of June this year, only three forces in England and Wales reported incidents, all of which were dealt with by verbal warnings.
But now, in what is thought to be one of the first in the country, a man has been successfully prosecuted in court.
Downing, 28, of Algar Road, Sheffield, pleaded guilty to smoking in a vehicle in which a child is present after being stopped by police on the A1 in Morpeth on May 20 this year.
