KUALA LUMPUR: The Road Transport Department (JPJ) will not issue summonses to drivers of private cars who smoke, but will book drivers of public service vehicle and tour buses or vans caught doing so, said its public relations officer Mohamad Sazali Baharudin.

He said that JPJ had no powers to book drivers of private vehicles who smoke while driving, but drivers of public service and tour vehicles were prohibited from doing so under the Control of Tobacco Product Regulations 2004.
