Child car smoking ban

[alchresearch 215]

I disagree. You should be able to multitask while driving, whether it's smoking, changing the radio station, setting the sat nav, scratching an itch!

 

Absolutely. Driving IS multitasking - changing gear, indicating, operating wipers, watching your speed, controlling three pedals with two feet and looking where you're going.

I think we should have a policeman in every car with a child, even if the parents are not smokers, just in case they decide too.

 

A stupid argument you make really. Just because you can't always enforce something, that doesn't mean it shouldn't be law.

 

"Can't always catch fly tippers - scap the law"

"Sometimes people use their phone when driving - scrap the law"

"We don't always catch murderers - scrap the law".

I think that's about what it would take.

I think it will do more harm to the kids stood at the kerbside in pouring rain whilst the driver sits in the car with window down finishing his ciggie.

And drinking, and eating fatty foods, and pain killers, and running with scissors, and fireworks, and noisy music, and laughing for no reason, and doing anything that you want to whenever you want to.

 

Smoking is different in that even if you follow all guidelines on using the product, it still kills you.

I doubt the majority of people who smoke in the car with children on board are the type of people who will take any notice of a law banning them from doing so. Of the minority who would they would perhaps be better targeted through education of it's detrimental affects.

Yeah, definitely. How many people actually still smoke in the car with their kids on board anyway?

[Epic Fail 10]

Well you shouldn't be smoking when you're driving in the first place.

 

Have one before or have one after...most car journeys aren't that long.

 

You need two arms to drive, if you're smoking you're practically down to one.

 

You sound like a terrible driver.

Ha, Ha! Where's the guidelines on a Big Mac?!

 

Also, you can't prove that smoking, say one or 2 cigarettes a week will definitely kill you.

What's to stop parents smoking in their homes with children present? Surely nobody wants the government to have the power to tell us what we can and can't do within our own homes?

 

I don't think this ban can possibly be policed.[/QU

 

Yes it can if you are in rented accomodation ./ First rule by landlord no smoking get caught you are out 24 hours notice no messing . /People who smoke in there homes are wasters . I would not let my kids go in any house were people were smoking./ Any one smoking in the presence of children are stupid and have no morals

 

People who eat burgers and sweets are thick as pig dump and should be shot on sight!!

Good point. Which proves that this whole campaign is a waste of time. I think ASH have ran out of ideas!

Sorry if this has already been done! but it's about time...

 

My parents smoked in the car with me and my brother in the back seats! hated it... but that was years ago and we are all more educated now and there is absolutely no need for it at all...

Nanny state politics rears its ugly head again . And just like using your mobile while driving and speeding it will be impossible to enforce . complete waste of time .

40 odd posts, and UKIP havent been blamed for parents smoking in cars. Is this a non-conspiracy?

[Bypassblade 10]

Not read all posts but I agree, children should not be allowed to smoke in a car
