Sorry, no link.
When they crack down on mobile phone use in cars which is illegal, I'll give it some serious thought.
(Ok mobile's with ear phones or whatever they are called is allowed)

^ You should have got round the back of the hospital .. and check out all those doctors and nurses outside the door having a fag.
Why's that then? If it were so dangerous (when compared to everything else in life the government wants to control) why didn't they all stop?
Shouldn't government and NHS practice what it preaches and ban smokers?

Only a small number of people smoke with children in the car ... harming them.
But huge numbers of people feed their kids unhealthy food ... harming them.
Is the Govt targeting the wrong group here?
Should we be criminalising feeding certain food to children?
(sugars, fats, preservatives, etc)
We are constantly being told that childhood obesity is reaching epidemic levels.

Successive Governments' obsessively increasing restrictions on smoking will eventually lead to a replication of the US Govt's ban on alcohol ...
... and we all know what a "success" prohibition was !!!
A nation full of alcohol peddling gangsters.
Still, at least we don't have any organized crime in the UK.
Oh wait,hang on ... yes we do. In fact, we are told it is increasing every day.
Oh, dear.

This is another attempt by the anti-smoking lobby (ASH, etc,) to place further restrictions on a person's personal freedoms. We all know that smoking is bad for the smoker. However, what isn't so clear cut is the effect on others. It is often repeated very loudly and sincerely that second-hand smoke also causes harm. But the fact is that there have been numerous studies done over the years that have all revealed the same thing – second-hand smoke does not increase a person's risk of developing a smoking related illness (ie. there is a relative risk ratio of less than 2). Those who oppose smoking will no doubt object to me pointing out that fact but unfortunately it is a fact.
The simple truth is that members of the anti-smoking lobby have to think of more and more ways to curb people's ability to smoke tobacco. They've banned it in the work place; they've banned it in enclosed public places; and they've banned it in pubs (with ruinous results for the trade), What are they to do now? They can't stop there because if they did they'd be out of a job. So they have to come up with new places to ban it in order to continue to earn a living and justify their own existence. They do so under the auspices of protecting the general public's health when what they're actually doing is protecting their own income and influence.
Buttons77 - “What's next? Some do-gooder knocking on my front door to tell me I can't smoke in my own house?”
Yes. I predict that after they've banned it in cars they'll move on to 1) the street, 2) parks, 3) all open places, 4) your own home (if you have kids), and finally 5) your own home regardless of children.
Once the above has happened, they will have completed their objective of a total ban on smoking and they'll find themselves unemployed. They will then have to find some other campaign to join that restricts people's personal freedoms because that is their raison d'etre.
Oh, and by the way, I'm not a smoker.

I haven't read all the posts, so many, so apologies if this has been already said, not only dangerous to smoke whilst driving, but the discarding of cigarettes whilst still alight out of the car windows is totally irresponsible. Roadside fires etc, even the odd leaky fuel pipe that owners don't realise they have. Flashed a female driver with a car full of children , pulled along side her , ignored her swearing at me and pointed out to her fuel gushing out underneath her car. Just as well she didn't have some inconsiderate driver in front of her throwing out lit ciggies.
