According to Karlsruhe-insider on February 16th, in Germany, smoking in a car could result in high fines.
While many countries have implemented clear bans on smoking in cars, Germany appears hesitant to strengthen regulations. In France, smokers caught with minors in the car face a fine of 135 euros, in Belgium the minimum fine is 130 euros, while in England and Wales it is approximately 60 euros. In Finland, smoking is prohibited in cars with children under the age of 15, and in Greece, smoking with children under 12 in the car can result in fines of up to 1500 euros. Smoking in public transportation can lead to fines of up to 3000 euros and a driving ban of one month.
In Germany, experts are calling for strict smoking bans in cars when children or pregnant women are present. Discussions include potential fines of up to 3000 euros and considering smoking while driving as gross negligence.
