I'm getting a little bit fed up of the anti-smoking ******* trying to interfere in what we do in our PRIVATE space. The only person my smoking in the car affects is Pete. He knew I was a smoker when we met. He accepts that fact. It in no-one else's business.

"Classed as a workplace"--Yes but many many cars are also company cars or individuals on expenses for company business. This actually wasn't what I was implying.more along the line that if commercial drivers can comply with not smoking while driving why can't a car driver,after all we bike riders who smoke don't normally smoke while riding our bikes,we stop and have a fag break.

I'm not supporting it, only explaining why I think you can't; it's not a road safety issue. And I'm not for banning people doing things because other groups of people can't.

I think a fire in a car is more then just a irritation, but it happening is a small risk like all things in life. Same as falling asleep with a fag at home, but you still see adverts on the telly for it.

Oh and a fag in the face hurts.

Your misinterpreting the regulations, or have been misinformed by a third party, either way your assumptions are incorrect.
