Prohibits smoking in automobile when children are present.

This bill (A3641) prohibits smoking in any automobile when a child 17 years or younger is present. It defines "smoking" broadly to include cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and e-cigarettes. Violators face a $100 fine for a first offense and $200 for repeat offenses, with fines funding state anti-smoking programs - no driving points or insurance penalties apply. The bill also requires the Motor Vehicle Commission to launch a public awareness campaign about the rule. It directly affects drivers transporting children in vehicles within New Jersey.
