Smoking Ban in Cars

[albaqwerty]

Sorry, no link.

When they crack down on mobile phone use in cars which is illegal, I'll give it some serious thought.

(Ok mobile's with ear phones or whatever they are called is allowed)

it will be smoking in the same house with kids next

[cazzz1975]

its not fair on kids to have their stuff smelling of stale tobacco, I dont care how offensive you find that statement

[jno]

I'm not a smoker or a fan of smoking, but I can't see why you shouldn't do it alone in your own car or your own house.

[Davethedog]

Total intrusion into your privacy, if it happens what next? I agree you shouldn't smoke in the vicinity of children, but you should have free will.

I will not allow people to smoke in my house (or car), they know and have the choice, however I would be totaly against a ban on people smoking in houses.

What is happening to this country.

I agree 100% with cazzz......why should children put up with their parents smoke?

I have nothing against smoking at all and if you wanna smoke....smoke, but at the right and safe times.


Smoking in cars can be dangerous if you drop the damn thing and panic.....could cause a serious accident and know people it has happened too who, fortunately, got out alive......as well as not jeopardising other drivers and pedestrians.

I have never smoked, apart from the occassional celebratery cigar at special times, and have never been a heavy drinker too...just socially on occasion and in moderation......losing my driving licence would seriously hinder my work.

>> well lets hope so DrFilth.
stamp it out, get this monkey off our back <<

wonder if you would be the same about an alcohol ban


fancy people drinking in front of kids gives them the wrong idea

ban the lot

what next



meat ?

[DrFilth]

know a couple who lost their licence say just the same

>> and have never been a heavy drinker too...just socially on occasion and in moderation.. <<

[ummmm]

We are talking about banning smoking in cars....especially for the driver. Drivers are already banned from drinking and driving...

[mccfluff]

i don;t get how you can smoke and drive, i tried it once, it was too confusing, never again

[DrFilth]

ummmm do you think things will just stop there
smokers today what next

[Frank97]

I thought it was already illegal to smoke while driving? So why do we need a new ban?

[DrFilth]

have we become a nation of moaning minnies

[ummmm]

Triggs is an ex smoker :-)

[vulcan]

would a ban on in car smoking lead to an increase in road rage ?

[hc4361]

It is not illegal to smoke whilst driving, unless the act of smoking causes you to drive without due care and attention.

[ummmm]

Probably....it's an addiction...

I'd like to see smoking banned in cars where there are children, otherwise it's up to the individual to smoke in their vehicle if they so wish imho, as I prefer for our decisions not to be made for us by govt. I'm not a smoker by the way.
