look at 148
this has the effect of putting the smoker in the position they may have to prove that smoking didn't cause an accident or impaired or affected their driving
say you couldnt last till after you had finished driving to have one may well negatively affect a defence
as to banning it completely in front of children i would say they should as a life long asthmatic i say to the smokers your coulpe of minutes can effect us for the rest of the day if not longer some times
just because it was just 2 minute to you doesnt preclude the next persons 2 minutes adding to my discomfort many times during a day
and i am not someone trying to stop smoking completely hey i am for legalising all drugs just as long as they dont use them in public or where there are kids
imho if people want to risk thier lve they should be free to do so just like mountain climbers etc
but none should force others to risk thier lives for them to do as they wish
