Oh well, I suppose it was only a matter of time.
It is being reported that UK Doctors are now calling for a ban on smoking whilst in a car. Having seen how unsuccessful companies have been at policing the policy where drivers of company vehicles are not supposed to smoke, I won't be losing too much sleep yet awhile. But...... it will be another step towards "Big Brother" taking over.
The main thrust of their arguement seems to be the secondhand smoke route? Speaking as someone who only travels with my wife (also a smoker) and never with Children, I do rather feel that it is my choice whether I choose to smoke in my car, or not? However, I suspect that we will be seeing this across the board before long.
