I have just been watching Question Time and the BMA proposals to lobby the Government to introduce a ban on smoking in private cars came up.
I don't think this should be legislated for , and anyone who smokes in a car with small children in demonstrates the sort of behaviour that should lead to a review of whether they are "fit and proper" custodians of children.
If an Adult wants to smoke in their vehicle whilst alone that is a decision for them to make and not "the nanny state".
The ignorance of non-smokers never fails to amaze me. One lady expressed the view that lighting a cigarette whilst driving was a hazardous pursuit that could lead to a major RTA. I wonder has she ever unwrapped a boiled sweet and popped it in her mouth at the wheel. This takes longer and more concentration than lighting a ciggie
The logical extension of banning smoking with children in a car would be to do the same in the home - is that the zealots ultimate ambition
