Honduras Bans Smoking at Home

Written by Pat's Papers | Tuesday, 22 February 2011 1:36 PM

The San Francisco Chronicle picks up an AP story about the country’s latest anti-smoking efforts, which include a $311 fine for smoking in your own home. The law doesn’t actually ban smoking in a person’s home but Hondurans can be fined or even thrown in jail if anyone in their house calls to complain of second-hand smoke.
