I do THINK smoking is not a great idea whilst driving, but that is just me. I dot smoke, and I do detest people that do. (not them, just them smoking around me)

explains it tbh with you being a non smoker. i dont drink. people that drink and drive make me sick.

I understand that so IF i was to get in your car i wouldnt smoke but if i want to smoke in MY own car i bloody well will regardless of who wants to come in my car or regardless of what Mr Plod says

besides have you ever seen someone driving when they are gagging for a ciggy now thats dangerous so i think its better to smoke while driving as majority of us who are addicted to cigs are more mellow drivers when having a cig than most non smokers i see on the road either that or all the mardy ignorant twats i see just need a ciggy lol

Some people like to smoke though so should be free to choose, I have recently quit and do admit starting smoking was the worst thing I ever did. But I did enjoy a tab and a pint. Also I have a question for you if I may U2U you.

thing is they go on about it being so bad for you and banned smoking in all public places and vehicles used for work but they will NEVER ban smoking as it would loose them billions every year in taxes that they need to pay thier expenses

I might make a thread 'Changing yoiiur radio station while driving, should it be banned'.

Give it a rest

anyone who is unable to smoke whilst driving without dropping it (

) is probably a bigger risk to society in many (more worrying) other ways.

Smoking, eating/drinking, messing about with your stereo/satnav and texting/talking on your mobile whilst you are not stationary should ALL be banned IMO.

You are driving - you should be concentrating on the road and not trying to multi-task.

thats my point ...

If your mobile is 100% illegal, and eating has been used as an offence before then smoking should be too.

The only eating i can see worse than smoking is sitting down to a curry whilst doing 80 down the M25 or something

that really annoys me, and its disturbing how often you pass an idiot you think is sleeping or drunk... but infact they are reading and looking at their steering wheel!!!

I remember when I was learning to drive the first driving school I used, the instructor was driving the car at the time and reading something on an A4 piece of paper he was holding to the steering wheel.

I promptly changed driving school after that.

as has been already said, smoking and talking or texting require a different amount of concentration. no way is it as bad

I once had to take evasive action due to checking my hair in the mirror. This should be banned, discuss?

I think everything you shouldn't do should be banned because I'm too stupid to be able to figure out if I should be trimming my toenails while my car is on cruise control.
