Ban smoking in cars, says British Medical Association

[VR6_Wherry]

the limit being when you are under the influence, therefore its illegal!

What about when you are under the limit? Still Drink driving

[Dan_GTi8v]

yeah but the remark I was responding to was

I'm sure drink driving kills more, lets ban booze!

if you are under the limit you're not drink driving

That's right, always someone else to blame.

You throw a burning ember on the road and cause danger, someone elses fault 

According to the figures above there are approximately 13,000,000 people in the UK smoking. If we were to say an average of 3 cigs a day that equals just below 40 million cig butts discarded.

Lets say a measly 5% are out of a car window. Thats 2,000,000 a day. Which is 730,000,000 a year.

How many people die through cigs throws out of a car window?? 

Seems like smoking in your car is safer than smoking at home judging by the number of house fires started by cigs.

Agreed.

So lets ban smoking at home instead! 

Which gets back to the point that there are stupid people everywhere doing stupid things.... why do we all have to suffer  

We will be building stuff from memory foam if things carry on like this.... Started by.. yes the government itself with a blame/claim structure.

Rubbish, you can do all you like to justify littering, but it'll never be ok.

Lets look at running people over shall we. Not everyone dies from being run over, so it's ok to run people over?

What are you talking about? 

The original point wasnt about littering, it was about people smoking in their cars. Some of which dispose of the tab out of the window. Which is no different to people littering on the street whilst walking... Which is the point I made! nothing about people dying from cig ends out of a window.

Get with it!

As for running people over... let ban cars, driving, running and... well feck it, we might as well ban people all together.  You can now rest easy in your padded cell
