Should smoking at the wheel be illegal?
Eating, drinking, trying to read maps, inserting a cassette or CD, tuning a radio, arguing with passengers or other road users, playing loud music. These have all played a part in prosecutions against drivers. Now smoking is set to join the list. Should smoking and driving be banned? Is it dangerous or are we taking this all a step too far? Have your say.

Anything which might cause distraction should be banned whilst driving for obvious reasons, just pull over and smoke.

I don't see a problem with smoking in cars as long as there's no-one else inside.
Personally, I find it far more distracting to use the standard radio that is fitted in all cars. I've driven 10 years and always smoked whilst driving - never a problem. Perhaps they should ban driving altogether or put only the essential controls within the car ?
For us smokers having a fag is as much second nature as using the indicators. If people are that easily distracted they shouldn't be driving in the first place! -

Whatever your views, the government say they have no plans to ban smoking at the wheel, (at least not yet)
