New law bans smoking with kids in the car

Children under 12 should not be exposed to smoke, say government

Lighting up a cigarette around a child is a pretty dumb thing to do, in TOAD’s opinion, and it seems the UAE government agrees. A new law has been announced which prohibits drivers smoking in front of kids under 12 years old in a car. The ban starts in January next year and violators face fines between Dhs100,000 and Dhs1 million.
