Lighting up in a car could get you traffic ticket, if a Nebraska lawmaker gets her way.

On Thursday, state Sen. Gwen Howard of Omaha introduced a bill (LB93) in the Legislature that would prohibit drivers and passengers from smoking if at least one of the passengers is younger than 16.

Unlike the state’s seat belt law, where drivers can’t be pulled over for not wearing seat belt, police could pull over cars in which occupants were smoking and kids were inside.

Fines for breaking the law would be between $50 and $150. Fines would be refunded if those who broke the law participated in a program to quit smoking.

Citations for breaking the law would not become part of a person’s permanent driving record.
