Watch out, teenage smokers.
The Utah House on Wednesday passed a bill that will increase to $60 the fine for using tobacco by those under 19.
HB55 by Rep. Carl Saunders, R-Weber, would also require one or both parents of the smoking teenager to attend a court-ordered class with their child on the hazards of smoking.

Previously, any of the 8,000 children cited for tobacco use each year in the state had the option of paying the fine or taking the class.
