the studies do show where there are heavy concentration normally meaning very built up areas with very heave traffic and mostly where there are lots of diesel vehicles it does seem to impact asthma
myself i have never had a problem with a car passing me in the street or even when stuck in traffic
now if you want to talk bon fires

now they do have an effect on me often lol ( though mostly because i get too close lol )
and as i said i am not about banning it every where just where there are other people
i was pointing out that it doesnt support itself finacialy to those who seem to think it does and showing trying to say alcohol is jusy as bad finacialy is wrong
as to alcohol the laws that are here should be better enforced ( did you know its against the law to serve some one whos drunk

personaly i think they should make it so unless the publican can see those he is pouring drinks for he shouldnt serve the drinks
( that would meen in a busy pub you would have to go to the bar to pick up your drink )
that would cut a load of the fri /sat night nhs cost in a stroke
back to smoking in a car i find it indefensible to do so
either your addiction is truely so bad you shouldnt be driving any way if you cant last till the end of a journy or it must be affect the way you drive which is breaking the law as it stands
even with other adults i think its bad enough but at least they can say no or ask to be let out ( which is what i would do )
