My opinion is and always will be that who ever is governing us will see £ signs. |

I also think a smoking ban is a good idea, although I'm not sure how it could be enforced. |

Thank goodness it was £60 when I was caught on a mobile phone. I had heard it was a bigger fine now. |

I remember delivering to a garage where there was brand new Bedford van written off in the yard. |

Another daft idea from our MPs. The fuzz cannot control the use of mobiles in car never mind smoking. The number of police available for policing is going down rapidly. All pie in the sky and an "if Only" scenario |

Why do you object to measures designed to prevent ill health death and injury ? |

Rollo I think that's a very good idea seizure crushing and heavy fine for mobile phone users in cars. I agree that if enough people are fined more heavily for using mobile phones and hopefully for smoking , perhaps the message will start to take effect. |

I haven´t read the whole of this thread but I do feel that big brother is watching if this law goes through. I will also ask if every smoker packs up where the government will get the loss of revenue from. ......and please do not say from the NHS who don´t treat smokers. |

PS. I am a smoker but have never agreed with smoke around food, and believe it your own choice to smoke or not. |

Uzzi. I don't think big brother would be needed if some people behaved more responsibly. Smoking and passive smoking are dangerous to health and one of the biggest killers in the UK. These are undisputed facts, to smoke whilst you have children in such a confined space as a car is in my opinion not only reckless but shows a total lack of concern for their health and well being. |

We were in San Francisco, did the tourist thing & bought two lovely big crabs on Fishermen's Wharf........... got some sour dough bread and some drinks and headed off to find a nice place to eat..... |

I have just read through the whole of this thread and whilst i agree that people should not smoke in cars where there are children, what about in peoples homes? Plenty of selfish parents smoke when they are pregnant and continue to do so when they bring the babies home. |

Whilst governments are eager to use statistics, they're very selective!! |

Long ago it must be there was no treatment for cancer and as > 70% of the population smoked and had tough physical jobs. They paid in a whole lot of tax and snuffed it before their pension age or if the Treasury was unlucky not long afterwards . The myth that smokers finance the NHS lingers on. |

Rollo. What a dreadful experience for your wife I hope she continues to make a full recovery. My husband was an intelligent articulate man who would put forward convincing arguments pro smoking. I repeatedly asked him to stop, but he was his own man and made his own choices. He was diagnosed with lung cancer and lived for eleven weeks. I asked his consultant if this due to smoking, he said yes most definitely. My husband stopped smoking overnight, but sadly it was too late for him. |

If people are addicted to anything (and many of us are addictive about something) we will use every argument to justify what we do. I have even heard it about child abuse - I could not believe that two perfectly normal sounding elderly men could agree that abusing children was something the child wanted :-0 :-0 But that was their clear argument.:-( |
