Should Smoking In Your Car Be Banned?
LatestIn the past decade or so life for smokers has changed drastically. In many areas they’re forced to stand 10 feet from buildings and prohibited from lighting up in parks and beaches. This restored the non-smokers’ right to not stand in a cloud of carcinogens, but now some European doctors have come up with a new restriction. They believe that while you’re alone in your car singing along with the radio, you shouldn’t be allowed to have a cigarette in your hand.
According to the L.A. Times, this week the British Medical Association’s Board of Science released a report urging U.K. governments to ban smoking in cars as part of an effort to “achieve a tobacco-free society by 2035.” There are several different ways of going about this. The medical group suggests the governments could ban smoking when children are in the car or when any passenger is in the car. The doctors are in favor of banning smoking in vehicles at all times, even if you’re by yourself.
