BILL NUMBER:A6714                 REVISED 3/3/10

TITLE  OF  BILL:   An act to amend the public health law, in relation to
restricting areas where smoking is permitted

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: The purpose of this legislation is  to,
prohibit smoking in private passenger automobiles where minors less than
16 years of age are passengers in such vehicles.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:  Section 1. Section 1399-o of the public
health  law  is  amended by adding a new subdivision 19' which prohibits
smoking in a private passenger car, private  passenger  van  or  private
passenger  truck  where minors under sixteen years of age are passengers
in such vehicle.

Section 2. Subdivision 2 of section 1399-q of the public health  law  is
amended to remove the restriction against application of Art. 13's smok-
ing  regulations to private spaces, only to the extent to prohibit smok-
ing in private automobiles in which children 16 years of age or  younger
are present. Private homes and residences remain unaffected.

Section  3. Section 1399-v of the public health law, as added.by chapter
244 of the laws of 1989, is amended by adding subdivision two  providing
that  violators of this provision shall be liable for a civil penalty of
five hundred dollars for a first offense, up to an amount not to  exceed
one  thousand  dollars  fora  second offense, and up to an amount not to

exceed one thousand five hundred dollars and/or ten days in jail  for  a
third or subsequent offense.

Section 4. Effective Date.

JUSTIFICATION:    The harmful effect second-hand smoke (SHS) can have on
people, especially children, has been well documented. The EPA estimates
that secondhand smoke causes up to 62,000 deaths each year  among  nons-
mokers  in  the United States, including 3,000 deaths due to lung cancer
alone.

Secondhand tobacco smoke (SHE) is a  major  preventable  contributor  to
acute  and  chronic adverse health outcomes that affect children dispro-
portionately. An estimated 300,000  children  nationwide  develop  lower
respiratory  infections  each year as a result of exposure to secondhand
smoke, with approximately 15,000 of these children hospitalized  due  to
their  infections.  And, exposure to secondhand smoke is a primary cause
of asthma.

In 2006, the U.S. Surgeon General issued a report,  "The  Health  Conse-
quences  of Involuntary Exposure to Tobacco Smoke," saying that SHS is a
serious health hazard that can lead to disease and  premature  death  in
children. The report details that even brief exposure to SHE has immedi-
ate  adverse,  effects on the cardiovascular system and that because the
bodies of infants and children are still developing; they are especially
vulnerable to the poisons in SHE.

That same year, the American Journal of  Preventive  Medicine  reported.
the results of a Harvard School of Public Health study on SHS in automo-
biles.  The  study  aimed  to simulate children's exposure to secondhand
smoke in a motor vehicle by  measuring  carbon  dioxide  and  respirable
suspended   particles  (RSP)  under  actual  driving  conditions.    The
researchers determined that the levels  of  RSPB  detected  were  deemed
unsafe,  particularly  for  children.  Their conclusion was that private
passenger cars are a domestic environment with the  potential  to  yield
unsafe levels of SHS contaminants.

Smoking  is prohibited in many public places such as airplanes, shopping
malls, restaurants, bars and whole range of facilities and, spaces serv-
ing child age populations. The dangers second-hand smoke can pose  to  a
child  in an enclosed area like a private passenger vehicle are -severe.
We currently provide protections for both  children  and  drivers  -  by
mandating  the  use  of  car  seats,  seatbelts and padded dashboards in
private automobiles. This-bill is an extension of those  protections  by
providing children clean air to breathe.

The  penalties  for  violating  this  ban are substantial. The penalties
imposed are justified  by  the  significant,  well  documented  negative
health impact on those children forcibly exposed to SHS in automobiles.

California,  Maine,  Louisiana,  and  Arkansas  have  enacted comparable
legislation. In New York State on the local level, Rockland  County  has
already  enacted a ban on smoking in cars with children up to the age of
18. At least 19 other states and the District of Columbia  have  similar
legislation  pending.  At present, on a related front, seven states have
enacted legislation prohibiting smoking in cars  that  are  transporting
foster children.
