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)

jackthehat >> that formerly unpleasant smoky pubs and clubs are now stuffed with oodles of fresh air and this is reflected in the way that they have subsequently flocked to these more pleasant establishments...... <<

are you taking the p the only thing in pubs these days is fresh air

[yogi-bear]

It is illegal to be seen eating at the wheel of your car whilst driving....yes?.....so if the same principle is allowed here....i.e one of your hands will be holding the cigarette, whilst you drive with the other ( you cant hold the wheel or manouevre it properly holding a ciggie, can you? )......then why not ban it?....if you want a cigarette, pull over somewhere safe ( in a layby/service station on a motorway. or a Tesco's/Any shop's car park ) and have your cigarette in safety.

Good point, Redhelen...and no i dont.......but I have my spare hand free from a bacon buttie or a cigarette in order that I can if need be. :0)

[DrFilth]

yogi, you could always put the bacon butty or ciggy in your mouth while manoeuvring - or both at once for that nice smoky bacon effect

/// it will be smoking in the same house with kids next ///

I disagree with that, adults shouldn't be allowed to smoke in the same house, where the kids are smoking. :0)

[anotheoldgit]

Will it include the smoking of cigars in the back of limos?

Will it also include lorry drivers?

Will they no longer fit ashtrays and cigar lighters in cars?

[yogi-bear]

LOL...jno :0)

The best thing about working in pubs, clubs and wine bars niow is that you come out smelling the same way you went in.......not smelling like a piggin' chimney and needing to have another shower when you got home.

As said, I have nothing against people who smoke, as long as it does'nt involve those who dont.

Passive smoking is the worst, as non smokers dont ask for it or deserve it...do they?.

I have nothing against smoking per se. However I do object to smokers thinking that it is fine to inflict their drug on others, throw their butts on the ground and drive with a burning cigarette in one hand.

At least drinkers don't insist everyone walking past them on the street take a sip.

Smoking in public places should be illegal especially in busy streets.

[DrFilth]

yogi-bear thing is with not smoking you can smell a drinker from a mile away

have you never heard the cops say i can smell alcohol on your breath

[beso]

Never mind hold the cigarette at the wheel. How do they manage to light it? I have even seen people rolling cigarettes while driving.

Then they throw the butts out the window and set fire to the countryside.

Hi again Dr F

Thread is about smoking though as we ( me included, and sorry ) got talking about alcohol.

But as you raise the point....yes...I can smell the breath off anyone that drinks from about 10 feet away.

cazzz1975 >>but what has this to do with smoking dr f?

can you tell me the merits of smoking please? <<

sorry itchy was at the house and i missed this post

think you will find that any doctor treating someone with depression will not tell them to not stop unless the person wants to try.
there was one ward in a hospital that i visited that would still allow patients to smoke alas not the ward i was in

Smoking is known to be very good for treating the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.
