I bet I'm not the only smoker and driver on here that's dropped my cigarette lighter and took my eye off the road to look to see where it is.

I'll not the the only one who has experienced accidentally knocking the lit end of my fag, then 'jumping' about in the seat trying avoid it burning me or my clothes..... or dropping the fag itself.

Flinging the finished fag out the window for the bloody thing to come flying back in again - into the back of thecar.

But then.... that must only ever happen to women drivers of course eh!

smoking whilst driving is a distraction - of that there is no doubt - but should it be banned? Nah. There are worse distractions: people changing CD's, plugging in phones, punching into sat navs etc.

I understand if there are kiddies stuck in the smoky atmosphere - but really, that's about the only ground for banning it.
