Now Illegal to Smoke in a Car with Children
 

You will get a £50 fine


Smoking in a Car is Toxic
and Very Dangerous for a child
its that simple.



This is a Good Move.


Ref: Radio5

Good news except the police forces said they won't follow through. Murderers and drug dealers to catch. Sign of the times.

Yeah police said they're not gonna enforce it.


Feel the force

Why would any decent parent smoke in a car anyway?:shrug:

Only non-decent parents would. If they wanna smoke then fine do what you want, but doing it close to your child's little lungs is disgusting. I saw a woman doing it in a carpark once, felt so sorry for her kid

why not just ban all smoking from all cars and be done with it

:worry:


Not looking forward to breaking this news to my dog

as we have banned it from building etc hospitals - its the next step along. great move.


arista you are on point with news. are you watching the wrighstuff ?

Record it on Ch5HD fastforwarding all ads

No as MP's Smoke in Cars

A Woman Smoker on BBC1
and Radio said her kids don't like it
but she needs to smoke.


So No Kaz

They will when they have time

Selfish people Dollface,it's the same when you see women pushing pushairs surrounded by a flurry of smoke,it is disgusting.

Well she needs to smoke away from them Arista, selfish cow.

I used to think that no one would be so stupid and selfish as to smoke in a car with children, then I saw someone doing it, with the window open a tiny crack and two toddlers in the back - while her partner filled up with petrol! So yeah, it's a good idea because sadly, we have to legislate for the most idiotic.

Although whilst I really could never condone someone smoking while kids are in the car I think the under 18 tag is fairly ludicrous up to 16 would be fine, a lot of 17 tear olds can drive themselves, :shrug:and in view of the recent emissions debacle and how seriously polluted the atmosphere is the government really need to start fining themselves for not getting their own house in order,this is really a way of collecting revenue rather than a public health issue IMO

Glad it's been written into law although it likely won't be enforced. The fact that it exists will hopefully give idiot parents a clue and not smoke around their kids.

Jeez!In a petrol station?!

Police have been unable to enforce this as the tools are not in place to do it, and they are unable to issue tickets :umm2:

No ashtray?

That's a tool for smoking surely :hee:

6 warnings have been issued and no fines in the 3 months since this became law

:clap1: :clap1: :clap1:

really good news to hear :)
