Gazza calls for a ban on smoking in cars

actually the ACT makes a killing reaping NSW cash every year when the grannies come in to look at Floriade mate.

“This is the first possible opportunity that the ACT Government has to reap some revenue from NSW residents. “

Reap, or rape?

Maybe they could be integrated with speed cameras

Speaking of speed cameras, I see the Government has installed a fixed one at the intersection of Hindmarsh drive and Canberra Avenue in Fyshwick.

This is the first possible opportunity that the ACT Government has to reap some revenue from NSW residents.

Unless you have steering-wheel mounted controls, which increasingly larger numbers of new cars do.

Perhaps we need smoking cameras installed around our fine city. Maybe they could be integrated with speed cameras, then we’d be doubly safe.

> Don’t worry, the government will look after you so don’t make a decision.

Oh…get your hand off it (your ciggie that is..hehe). It’s hardly a shock. Smoking will be ever more regulated as the years go by. Get used to it, or better still….give up.

It’s the kiddies smoking in the backseats of cars that worry me.

> as if smokers are that irresponsible around kids.

Errr…well, yes. A large number of them really are.

Even when I was a smoker, I’d always reserve a nasty look & perhaps a few choice words for drivers I saw smoking WITH THEIR CHILDREN IN THE CAR. Seriously, that is pathetic human behaviour.

In winter, they’ll often even have the windows up, occupied baby seat in the back, puffing away. Absolute scum.

this whole issue is a beatup.

as if smokers are that irresponsible around kids.

most smokers leave their own homes and smoke in their backyards.

typical anti-smoking zealots fanning yet more bigotry.

josh keep holding your breath. please. dont exhale.

im off for a cool refreshing laramie…

Smoking around children is just not on…..anywhere. I don’t view it as a civil liberties issue, just one of showing respect to fellow humans. If you demand the right to smoke in an enclosed space with children…..you’re a selfish idiot.

I dare say that the effects of the smoke itself would be far less detrimental than those of being raised by someone who would actually commit such a callous act, yet there seems nothing we can do about *that* particular problem. :/

how about we ban smoking altogether? and no, that’s not a sarcastic claim. smokers can rot in their unbreathable atmosphere.

note: opinion only, don’t get up on your high horse. blah blah, i know it’s your choice. i’d still like to be able to walk down a street one day and not have to hold my breath because of smokers. whatever it takes..

perhaps while driving, you can use your mobile phone to call police and alert them to someone smoking in their car.

Why not just make it illegal to be involved in any activity — while driving a car — that ties up the use of one or more arm.

Or more simply, you must have both arms available at all times to perform the operations required to drive a motor vehicle.

No mobile phone use, no eating, no smoking, no drinking coffee.
