I'm sure nobody will agree. But when it's a nice day and you're driving with the windows down, come to some traffic, and the driver in front/along side starts smoking. meaning the nice fresh air stinks, so it's windows back up and A/C instead, I don't mind people smoking in their cars at all, it's their car, but I think it's selfish in traffic on a sunny day, double knob when they throw the butt out their window.

Not agreeing or disagreeing... but this does raise the question that where are they supposed to put their butt now that most cars don't actually have ashtrays? Stub it out on their hand like a Lethal Weapon boss and chew the remains?

Buy an ashtray. Most cars are available new with a smoking pack, these are often available from the dealer later on down the line too.

If they don't have anywhere to dispose of it without littering the street then they shouldn't be smoking it there.

I'm not picking on you here - a genuine question. Why drive below the speed limit if the conditions are safe for 70mph?

Why not?
As the saying goes, "It's a limit, not a target!"

Seriously, not everybody is in a hurry, only those who are self-important!
I don't hang about personally but once I learned the above simple fact my blood pressure dropped to normal levels!

Quite like to see you maintain that attitude if you have four or five hundred miles to cover to reach any appointment at a certain time (even after building in extra time to cover inevitable `legitimate' hold ups that can and usually do arise)
There are enough hold ups on the roads, without someone artificially creating one, because they cannot be a*rsed to drive properly, and either do not see, or worse do not care about the huge queue of drivers built up behind them.
Or how about getting a phone call from a hospital saying your Dad/Mum/ other relative is close to dying, and you want to get there before they do, whilst staying within the posted limits? You may not be in a hurry, but you should realize that there are others on the roads who may have any number of legitimate reasons for wanting to travel at the posted limits, where the vehicle type, road and weather conditions, drivers health and skill level allow.

I agree! Also all those who stand around the exit of a building blowing their foul smoke in big clouds making it impossible to walk anywhere at lunch break without involuntarily inhaling someone else's choice to kill themselves with no option. Walking down the river side walk and the person in front blows a huge cloud of stinking e-cig vapour from their lungs right into your face! Definitely about time smoking was banned in all public spaces.

Not sure what the knobbish bit is here? Doesn't look like a particularly oversized exhaust.

The exhaust looks like a Megan Racing.

Looks like V144OOF to me, which is indeed a red Accord.

Thanks

Our local tesco, Clifton moor if anyone knows it has a bench at the entrance where people, including staff sit smoking at all hours making it very unpleasant to go in.

Never mind Tesco.......

Took my mum to local hospital for an appointment earlier today & was shocked to see the number of people outside the entrance smoking. 1 even had his drip & its holder with him!!

I don't agree with intervention in people's lives normally, but IMO that patient should be discharged from hospital immediately for doing that.

I notice that the price of fuel is creeping up.

Knobbish oil company behaviour?

Sorry to dissapoint you, but more a case of knobbish FX markets pricing in a possible Brexit.

You people wanted it banned indoors, so deal with it. If it was banned in public spaces i'd still do it anyway.

I dont like fat people who smell of sweat but I dont try and ban them.

you people.... christ. By "you people" do you mean every non-smoker/vaper? Without wanting to feed your anger i am not sure you can catch fatness by breathing a fat person's BO.

You people = The ban crowd.

If you walk past someone outside who's smoking, what are you going to get other than briefly smell a smell you dont like?

[AH33]

Also, Im not angry. Im more concerned that my fellow citizens have become so ban happy. Some people wont be happy until we're living in hermetically sealed pods with no fast food, no sugar, no tobacco, self driving cars, no kind of pleasure whatsoever.

well i guess the point is that it doesn't just contain a weird smell, it's deliberately designed to contain loads of chemicals that you want to inhale, but "us people" want to be able to choose not to.

Seems kinda pointless to tell me a few wisps of smoke from cigarette is causing you cancer while standing on a street full of diesel lorries/buses.

"if it saves only ONE life it's worth it"

here in Wales all new houses by law now have to be built with a sprinkler system, it's apparently a life saver.

Of @70,000 deaths in Wales per year around 7 were related to fires. Now unfortuneately there is no reference to whether or not the houses in which these 7 people were killed had fire alarms. But on the face of it requiring every new house in the country to have sprinkler systems fitted does seem like over kill.

Given that heart attacks cause about 20,000 deaths a year in Wales and that a defibrilator costs about 1/10th as much as a sprinkler system is does make you wonder if someone in the Welsh Labour Government doesn't run a sprinkler system fitting company???

I could cope with that but its everywhere I go! I'm constantly getting a face full of sickly smelling vapour or smoke. If its someone's right to smoke surely its my right to walk from work to the train without involuntarily smoking the whole way if you want to look at it that way?
