Puerto Rico makes it a crime to smoke in cars with minors
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – The U.S. territory of Puerto Rico has made it a crime to smoke inside a vehicle if one of the passengers is younger than 18.
The island’s Health Department said Sunday that violators will face a $250 penalty. Officials said 10 per cent of money collected from those fines will go to the pediatric centre at Puerto Rico’s largest public hospital.
The island banned smoking in all public and certain private places in 1993.
