What about the non smoker who uses your cab after you have let someone else smoke?

Grandad,

My mate has been in hospital for the last 3weeks. His problem has been he gave up smoking 6 months ago just like that 60 a day then none..
they said his body has had a major reaction to no nicatine . he has been really really ill.
But he wont get 60 fags a day from the NHS

If they're that bothered they can take the next one

Nice answer. I look forward to reading the thread when you are complaining about the £2000 fine that you have been hit with.

Grandad,

I didn't say I was breaking the law. I just don't believe its right. Basic freedom seems to have been swept aside for the sake of what's politically correct. That's a dangerous road to go down. Whats next? Fast Food probably kills far more people than second hand fag smoke. Salt causes high blood pressure, a major killer in the western world. Alcohol causes many diseases including cirrhosis of the liver & heart disease. All major drains on the NHS. Our exhaust fumes are far from healthy either (even if they do pass emission tests) and they are damaging the planet. The health nazis will feel emboldened so LOOK OVER YOUR SHOULDER. Next personal freedom to bite the dust may be something that affects you!

OK thats my last rant on the subject
Free speech like this may be on their list as well.

they sprung a new surprise on us past friday, the inspectors were stopping taxis/ph and checking their ashtreys for ash, messages were flashed to all computers after the first one,s were stopped ,not sure if anyone was caught out if i hear anything ill post it

Maybe the council should sponsor drivers to go to anti-smoking clinics.

Methinks checking ash trays is a tad extreme, but I still hate smoking.

WHAT, dirty and ash tray, why not throw the fag ends out the window like the rest of us commoners, dam posh if you ask me them Dundee drivers

i am a non smoker myself but i would be annoyed if they stopped me and picked up on a fag end lying on the floor, they tend to stick to peoples shoes and end up on your floor, two problems you guys will experience, one is a customer aproaching your cab while smoking, on arriving at your taxi they take one last usually massive draw on the fag before throwing it away then exhale all the smoke while in your taxi ,you will experience this on the first day of the ban, the second which is just appearing in dundee now is passengers getting in your taxi and asking to smoke(£200)fine, when refused they tell you that a previous driver let them as long as they let him smoke, i picked up a fare who said if they knew i was a non smoker they wouldnt get in my taxi, there are only a small handfull of drivers who let passengers smoke in their taxi and hopefully they will be dealt with rapidly

at least one person is benefiting from the ban

Dundee wav, I wonder if anyone will challenge the law, as the ones who brought it in will still be able to smoke in the house of commons, one rule for them and another for us
