Admirable but odd that you'd light up then keep the cigarette out of your grasp for most of the time it's lit.

A good idea to not smoke a cigarette whilst driving then?

Its exacly the same as drinking from a can whilst driving. Why do you think there is a difference in having a hand on a fag and having a hand on a can

As an ex-smoker I have some sympathy, but not much.
As an active drinker, who loves a tipple, I find I am banned from drinking in most public places, I am limited to the amount I can drink whilst driving in my car, and after I've drunk several pints I find I can be arrested for urinating in public or in other people's personal space.
It's just not fair.

It was Semi-jest, with an element of truth.
Which bit was rediculous?
Is there really a massive difference between exhaling smoke from your lungs next to people that, don't want to, breathe it in. And urinating your consumed alcohol next to people that don't want you to?
I would say not much, in fact I would say that urinating next to someone has less health implications and is less invasive than smoking next to them..............

Most people who drink liquids are able to go entire journeys without needing to drink.

Implying smokers can't? Odd, always had you down Russ as someone who didn't make sweeping generalisations!

It is but are you suggesting smokers cannot go without a cigarette for any period of time ?

As effective as the ban on mobile phones while driving.

At my work the only official smoking times are 10:00 to 10:10, 12:30 to 13:00 & 15:00 to 15:10. Yet I know some smokers go around the back and have a crafty ciggy.

It's not illegal to smoke under 18 ,the same as it's not illegal to drink under 18 ,also the problem of under 18's is being addressed by increasing the smoking ban to areas that children may be present.

The point is that something is being done ,if the council go ahead with this proposal then there will be an option to prosecute should it be deemed necessary .The same ban exists in New York and doesn't cause that much of a issue.

So your judgment on smokers is based on where you work and then extrapolated to the n'th degree ?
