A grandfather has been charged in Perth County for smoking in a vehicle with young children.

Ontario Provincial Police said they received a call about an older male smoking in a vehicle and found the man, woman and young children in a mini van in Listowel.

Fresh odor of tobacco smoke was detected in the vehicle and the 56-year-old Palmerston man admitted smoking with his wife and three grandchildren in the vehicle.

He was charged under the Smoke Free Ontario Act which stipulates a $125 fine for the offence and a $25 victims of crime surcharge. The act prohibits having lighted tobacco in a vehicle while a person under 16 years old is present.

Last month Perth OPP busted a 70-year cigar smoker for smoking while a two-year-old was in his vehicle.

Enacted in May 2006, the Smoke-Free Ontario Act prohibits smoking in all enclosed workplaces and enclosed public places.

Pleased to hear it, anyone smoking around small children should be charged.
