A ban on smoking in cars seems to be gaining momentum. The idea first surfaced a couple of years ago during the wider law change it seems, primarily touted as a road safety measure.

Two years on, and it’s making headlines again after a doctor has expressed his concerns about child passive smoking. 

We don’t really need to go into the health issues here, which are well documented. But the case as a threat to driver safety seems much less clear. Is holding a cigarette really any more dangerous than tuning the radio, and do we need legislation to control it?

I don’t know about you, but I get the feeling a ban is coming…
