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.

------------------
Whilst I agree, are you honestly saying you have never done any of
the above including those under etc. like changing the volume on your
old Motorola, in your driving lifetime?

I'm not honestly saying that or even dishonestly saying that. We do
stupid things when we're younger and then later realise how stupid we
were and stop doing them. Then, as we grow older, we find different
stupid things to do. Older still, we forget what things are stupid and
do lots of stupid things.
