Parma Heights Proposal Would Ban Smoking In Car With Kids

"A battle is brewing in Parma Heights over a proposed ban on lighting up in a car if you're driving with children, reported NewsChannel5.

Parma Heights City Councilman Rick Schwachenwald wants to make it illegal to smoke in a car with kids under 18.

Schwachenwald says if you can ban smoking in public, then why not protect people from secondhand smoke in vehicles?

The measure would actually be an amendment to an 18-year ban on smoking in public places in Parma Heights.

Police would enforce the law as a secondary offense, similar to if you're pulled over and not wearing a seat belt.

A final decision is not expected for weeks"

Rick Schwachenwald is a dem btw. Not that it makes any difference to me, I still think this is wrong.
