Intro:

Langley RCMP handed out their first ticket recently to a driver caught smoking with a child in the car.

The man was pulled over while he was smoking with a 13-year-old in the car. The driver was handed a ticket with a $109 fine and also was given a 24-hour suspension for driving under the influence of alcohol.

The man's name was not released by police.

Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks believes it was one of the first tickets of its kind handed out in B.C.

"The wife was in the car and she was not upset that he got a ticket," she explained Wednesday. "She told the officer she had been trying to get her husband to stop smoking in the car."
