ANNAPOLIS — Smoking in a vehicle with a child under the age of 8 would be prohibited under a bill passed by the Maryland Senate on Wednesday.

The measure would fine a driver or passenger in a vehicle with a child up to $50 if he or she is found to be smoking tobacco in the vehicle. It would not count as a moving violation and no points would be assessed to a driver’s license.
