The Alabama Legislature passed a bill this week that bans smoking or vaping in a car with children 14 years old and younger.
House Bill 3 was created by Birmingham Representative Rolanda Hollis. She says she’s pushed for this for six years now.
The bill makes it illegal to smoke or vape inside a car with the windows up or down, whether it’s on or off. A violation of this can result in a $100 fine, according to WBRC.
“We’re going to save these kids from having bad allergies, having respiratory issues and everything that goes along with second-hand smoke,” said Hollis. “Even saving them from, as they go along in life, from getting cancer.”
The bill is now waiting on the governor’s signature to make it law.
