I see the latest wheeze by the bansturbators in parliament is to ban “smoking in cars with children”.
They just can’t help themselves can they? However I fail to see how they can enforce a ban with so many loopholes in it. Here’s a couple.
What if the car has tinted windows like mine. How will they know if there are children in the car? Will they set up roadblocks?
How will they know if someone has actually smoked while the kiddies were in the car? The smell could have lingered from a previous journey?
Why is there a need for this anyway as:
‘Smoking in cars with children has been in decline for years. Today very few people do it because the overwhelming majority of smokers accept that it’s inconsiderate.’ (Simon Clarke from Forest).
I suspect that is the slippery slope to banning smoking elsewhere. If they can start banning it in your own private car, why stop there?
Ban it in peoples own homes will be next. Don’t believe me. just wait.
