Ban on smoking in cars ?

[Leekbrookgull]

Don't know if any other Nsc user has either heard or read reports some group is set to launch a campaign to ban smoking in cars. As a non-smoker i don't have a problem with someone smoking in a car if own their own. However should children be in the car i find it appauling behaviour.

One of these days people are going to run out of things to try & ban.

Have you tried to enforce the mobile one

I objected to some fat cow driving a 4x4 almost running me off the road on a roundabout, whilst stuffing her face with a sandwich and paying little or no attention to any other road users...but I doubt if they are going to ban that!

The cops have a hard enough job trying to catch piss-heads behind the wheel and those who persist with using their mobile phones, don't see how you can ban tabbing in your own car, unless by lighting it you are not paying due care and attention.

I'm going to be smirking at this.

Mind you, the government has banned smacking and smoking already so maybe I should be worried...

under which you are already commiting an offence if smoking is causing any problems. ffs, leave it along and let the police deal with real crimes that affect people, stop making it a crime to merely exist.

ASH are a right pain. Either make tobacco illegal or leave it alone.

When will we realise (well you as i live abroud) that the UK is slowley drifting into a totaliterian state. Where i live at the moment, if the Government said they wanted to 'ban' something, the populus would just ignore it and say it was undemecratec.

To be fair, the government have said nothing about this yet...

fair enough, but i do wonder sometimes.

just ban smoking, full stop.

Raises too much money in tax for a government to EVER ban it completely.

Other than in your own home. All the smoking ban in pubs etc has done is force pubs to shut and smelly smokers to polute the fresh air outside of the pubs so that you cannot walk along the road without somebody blowing smoke in your face.

Slights exaggeration there old man. The fact that I can now go out for about 6 hours and come home not smelling of smoke, even though I would have walked past at least 10 groups of smokers tells me that it's a definate improvement.

I thought it had been acknowledged that that was something of a fallacy? It's pretty much impossible to measure I suppose; you are never going to be able to accurately work out how much the NHS would save if people stopped smoking.

FWIW though, I can't see this ever taking off. Banning people from doing things in public places is one thing, but on their own property is something different entirely.

Its a bit like trying to go to a hospital - the Royal Surrey has banned smoking on site, which now means that every entrance to the site now has a cluster of smokers around it. Is it really too much trouble to provide a smoking area?

 

[champion7]

I'm a smoker but don't smoke in my car as it is unfair for non-smokers to get
in a breath in stale air.Plus if i want to sell it then it will smell fresh.

LOL, close, its on the med

Didn't this come in a couple of years ago?
