i heard on the news that the bill is very unlikely to pass.

i'm not a smoker so it wouldn't affect me.

so where does it end... drinking, eating, makeup, radio, cd's, dvd's, ipods, cruise control, raising/lowering your windows or sun roof, scratching your ass, sneezing, caughing, talking, thinking about anything other than your driving technique, road rage, are all distractions... (just to name a few)

You know in some countries in Europe, they can already right you a ticket for anything the Police officer deems to be distracting to the driver such as mentioned above.

Fuck that shit. I am seriously tired of all this smoking bullshit.

I do understand the no smoking in parks, on school property, airplanes, and even in restaurants.

But come on, if a bar owner wants to allow smoking he should be.

If i want to drive down the road in my fucking car, i should be allowed to.

My marlboro light will not hurt you in anyway if im smoking in my car.

So he can take that law and shove it up his smoke free ass. :2finger:

Hmmm... I dunno, I can see both sides of this one. On the one hand, a person's car is about their only "safe haven" in which they aren't bothering anyone else (in theory, anyway).... Hence, those bumper stickers that read, "At least I can still smoke in my car."

However, I do suppose there are many effects of that person seemingly innocently smoking in their own car.... like the ashes/embers they casually "tap" out the window... or the burning butt they flick out with the same nonchalance (which could hit a motorcyclist, fly into the open window of another car, or start a fire).... and then there's the litter of all of those tossed butts....... not to mention the distraction-factor posed by the smoking driver (looking for their lighter, driving with only one hand, and what if they drop the lit cig into their lap while they drive? Talk about a hazard on wheels!)

Ok, the more I think about it, the more I'm on board for this legislation! It'll be interesting to see where it goes from here......
