West Virginia has become the 12th state to ban smoking in vehicles with children present.
FILE - West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice delivers his annual State of the State address in the House Chambers of the state Capitol, Jan. 11, 2023, in Charleston, W.Va. Justice signed a bill Friday, March 22, 2024, that would ban smoking in cars with children present. West Virginia has the highest rate of adult cigarette use in the nation.
Justice didn't comment on the bill, which was among 15 he signed Friday. West Virginia's 60-day legislation session ended on March 9. “The next step is your home. The next step may be your business. Where are we moving this to?” Hardy said. “This is the most un-Republican bill that I’ve ever seen in my life.”
