Law Would Mean No Smoking With Kids In Car - Portland News Story - KPTV Portland.

Some lawmakers in Washington state are hoping to pass legislation banning smoking in cars carrying children. Supporters said they're looking for sponsors as the new session of the state legislature gets underway in Olympia. The proposed law would expand a program already in force in Tacoma and Pierce County. The last time regulations were added to smokers’ habits in Washington was in 2005 when an initiative banning smoking in bars and restaurants passed. A similar law began clearing the inside air in Oregon’s public places last week.
