BATON ROUGE -- Smoking in a car or truck where there are children will soon become a costly proposition in Louisiana under legislation signed this week by Gov. Kathleen Blanco.
The governor signed House Bill 1010 by Rep. Gary Smith, D-Norco, which allows police to ticket drivers who are smoking in vehicles with children 12 and younger.
Starting Aug. 15, violators will face fines of up to $150 or a minimum of 24 hours of community service.
