SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) - People caught smoking in bars and restaurants in Puerto Rico faced fines Friday as a ban on lighting up in enclosed public spaces took effect.
The law was approved last year over the objections of some in the tourism industry. It also prohibits smoking in private cars with children under 13 inside.
Violators face a penalty of $250 for a first offense and up to $2,000 for repeat violations.
