The bill S. 340 aims to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding Section 56-5-3910, which makes it unlawful for individuals to smoke tobacco products in a motor vehicle when a passenger under the age of twelve is present. The legislation defines "tobacco product" as any product containing tobacco intended for human consumption.

Violators of this new law would face a penalty of up to one hundred dollars for each offense. The bill is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor, emphasizing the state's commitment to protecting the health of minors from the dangers of secondhand smoke in vehicles.
