The BBC yesterday morning made big deal with their usual big

And they showed both sides of the argument. Vox-pops had views
across the board and the Forest spokesman gave his view in
opposition to that of the BMA. Are you saying they should have
ignored it altogether? Censorship of the news? Is that what you
want?

You have your attributions wrong. It was a Lawrence demented OT rant.

Sorry about that. No idea how I answered the wrong post. Should have
noticed I'd got the wrong one when I started snipping.


The main problem I have with people smoking in cars is that whilst
they are rooting around in the glove compartment for their next fix
they drive into the back of stationary traffic or drift out of lane.
I don't really care if they gas themselves with tobacco smoke in
their own car.


Agreed. There's no need for a new law to deal with the first problem -
"driving without due care and attention" should cover it. That also
catches the sweet-unwrappers, sandwich-munchers, CD-changers, etc.
