Fines of up to £10,000 could be imposed on people who allow smoking in cars carrying children.
There will be a £50 fixed penalty or five penalty points on the driving licence for anyone caught smoking in a car carrying children and failure to prevent smoking in the vehicle.
The maximum £10,000 fine will be paid by people who end up in court having failed to take ‘reasonable steps’ to prevent others smoking in cars with children.
Details of the new law are expected to be unveiled by ministers in December and could be in force by October of next year.
