Not that up on the smoking laws, so not fully aware of what it covers - but although many parents wouldn't smoke with their children in the car - many would! Children need to be protected from those parents! Information and education is always the best way to promote such issues - but sometimes enforcement may be the only way!

If there isn't a blanket ban in force - how do they stop people smoking with children or unconsenting adults in the car - who can't or don't like to say anything?

A ban on smoking with children in the car fine. But telling me I can't smoke in my car that I paid for is just not on.

Exactly. If people don't like it then wind the window down and shut up.

Personally I don't let anyone smoke in my car and thats my choice- its the decision of the driver, not the passengers. If they don't like it then either wind the window down and shut up or get out and find another way to travel.

Fair enough if its kids, but adults? Nah.
