FOI reveals no fines issued for smoking in cars with children

Police are choosing not to enforce a new law protecting children from people smoking in cars, figures suggest.

Legislation introduced in October 2015 makes it illegal to smoke in a vehicle carrying someone who is under 18.

At the time the new law was hailed as “a landmark in protecting children from second hand smoke”.
