Subject:New York State Motor Smoker Law
From:Jason Yasment

Just for the Info of those who live and travel through NYS.  This
morning the Motor Smoker Law goes into effect.  This law basically comes
down to, if you are smoking while behind the wheel you are subject to a
fine.

The fines are:

1st Offense:  US$500
2nd Offense:  US$1000
3rd Offense:  US$1500

and I don't know what the penalties are after the 3rd offense.

The reasoning behind the law is the distraction of smoking while driving
and the health effects of others that are in the vehicle with you.
