Back to OP:
Driver smoking with driver window down 2-3 inches no problems.
Driver with all windown shut - not fair on captive audience.

Re: Should smoking in cars carrying children be banned?
I remember some years ago, when I was a smoker, our ten year old son suddenly annoucing to everyone at home, that he smoked. I jumped up from the dinner table after almost choking on my Yorkshire pud, and started ranting on at him about the dangers and continued, in shock, to hail verbal abuse across the table at him. It was only when I sat back down, he said with a quivering soft voice, "I'm sorry dad, (gulp!) but I only smoke when you and others around me smoke." Well, I can honestly say two minutes later that one little heart-breaking sentence had me choking on a Capstan full stengh ciggy out in the back garden.
That's a true story, well, apart from the Capstan... It was actually a B&H.
I gave up not long after that.
I also remember whilst driving, I threw a lit cig out of the window but it blew back into the car and fell down between my legs! It's a good job there was no oncoming traffic or there would have been a right pile up.
I was too concerned with what that red hot cindering dimp was about to do to my nether regions more than anything else in the world.
I often think back to them days and just how dangerous this wicked habbit can be. For those who want to give it up, just ask yourself who's in control here? You, or the deadly weed? You can beat it.

Re: Should smoking in cars carrying children be banned?
I can see the point about alcohol maggy made, but its no comparison.
The uk probably has 10s of millions of nicotine addicts, we dont have anywhere near that many alcoholics. The affect on other people is also in a different league, we get things like drink driving causing deaths, but it doesnt scale up to the affect passive smoking has. eg. my eyes are now sensitive to smoke, I cannot even be in the same room as someone who smokes now, because of this I limit visiting people who smoke and they have to change their habits when they around me, they dont like it of course.
I think the end game is smoking will be banned at some point, but they phasing it in slowly. For political and tax reasons it will be done gradually. For what its worth I think fatty foods will be targeted at some point (maybe not soon but I suspect by year 2050) will be as we get stories too often now going on about obesety and its strain in the nhs etc.

It would be more to the point if everyone got back to minding their own business and look after themselves and stop worrying what others are up to.What we need is a little less interference from the state.

I thought the whole point of this thread was that children are unable to look after themselves, so should be protected from irresponsible adults.
