Re: Smoking ban......(Hmmmm)

It is crazy. Banning smoking in cars(when children are present) is all very well but it will not be policed.
It is illegal to use a mobile whilst driving, but I see so many people doing this...and how many people are convicted? Not many I'll be bound.
Adults know that smoking in the presence of children is wrong(for a number of reasons)...but they still do it.
And is it any different from smoking while sat in the living room with your child...the area may be bigger but the exposure to cigarette smoke is still there.

The government get far too much into its coffers to come out and ban smoking outright.
And though I do not trust statistics, I read that now there are only one if five people who smoke conventional cigarettes.
