baldydude: where is it all going to stop tho? like whats next? not allowed to take a drink of water whilst driving? have a biscuit?
as for the health issue for other passengers, 99% of smokers as soon as they light up the 1st thing they do is open a window nd the drive wind sucks out the air, not to mention the air-conditioner, so i reckon a car is probably a cleaner environment for a non smoker than any other place where they encounter smokers
as for the comment of most journey's being less than an hour, personally i have to go on regular journeys that take a lot longer than that and thats just to see my family, plus what about the professional drivers truckers etc that spend 50% of their week in their vehicles?
yes i know smoking is bad for me, but its MY choice, i've never lit up one in a vehicle if there was non smokers aboard that objected to it, an outright ban is just ridiculous never mind as to how they plan to enforce it!!
ger48: Them cigarettes are bad for you and as for the drink, don`t get me started on that ....... now that is my thread for tomorrow, the demon drink ...........[/quot

ger48: you're right buddy ,, I'm tryin to quit ,, am on a reduction programme , doin ok ,,, tried the cold turkey thing and landed in hospital ,, but i'm getting there
To be honest mate I tried so many times to quit and failed and kept seeing these ads on the tv saying speak to your Doctor and I did and I went the Champix route and couldn't believe how easy it was. I started enjoying them less and one day (the last day I smoked).....I took a drag and I felt ill and that was that lol. It ain't easy.......best of luck
DUBLINGUY1973: My best mate is two years off them and you would swear he never smoked the way he goes on. He is always giving out to me for going out for a smoke when he go for a pint

Contradicted Myself there pffffttt. What I meant was I found it easy with the Champix, but actually trying to quit without any help is not easy at all
I have banned smoking in my car, even though I am a smoker myself, I just like having both hands completely free when driving, if I do want a smoke on a long journey, I will pull over and get out of the car to light up.
Anyway, you can bring in all the legislation you want banning people from doing this, that or the other whilst driving, but is it ever going to actually be enforced?
Look on your way out and about today at how many people have got a mobile phone glued to their ear whilst driving, if they can't enforce those laws, how exactly are they going to enforce this one?
