We Mind Very Much If You Smoke
Remember that old diddy....
I don't smoke and while I'm certainly not fond of encountering it in a closed in public place, I don't give a rat's ass what you do in your privately owned space. I am shocked with that dude in NJ trying to pass the no smoking while driving thing. It's only responsible for like 1% of the accidents in that state yet this is the battle to fight??????
Your thoughts?

I read an article on that and was thinking it was a bit overboard. If they are concerned with distractive driving then they might as well ban eating, applying makeup, listening to music, talking on the phone, and talking to passengers in your car as well.
They'll probably try to ban masturbating while driving next...

I heard this this morning, and I think it's crap... banning smoking in public places is one thing, but banning smoking while driving makes as much sense as banning smoking in your home. There are some places the government should not reach. And if people want to kill themselves slowly while driving, more power to em. :grin:

I think people on cell phones, and those trying to eat/drink and drive are much more of a hazzard than smokers. I know cell phone usage while driving is being legislated, but I don't know how possible it would be, or even practicle or reasonable to try to legislate eatling/drinking while driving.

Grrrrrrrrrr.... I smoke.
I am a polite smoker - I don't smoke in dining areas, I don't smoke in a public place around lots of people, and I also ask those who visit my home if they mind that I smoke while they are there. Usually they look shocked that I ask and don't know what to say. I explain to them - I will not impose my poor choice/addiction onto someone who doesn't partake - even in my own home, so if it bothers you I will either not smoke - or go outside.
This idiot in NJ is wasting his time. Why doesn't he go after those who drink and drive? Have a zero tolerance for those who imbibe? 0.00% alcohol level?
I also wonder, when I hear about thse kinda things if the person isn't trying to distract the public he represents from something much more scandalous...

That means that 99% of the accidents are caused by non smokers. I want legislation introduced to make smoking a requirement to :drive:!
(You want to see road rage? 
Stick me in rush hour traffic on a 100°F day like today and tell me I can’t smoke in my own fucking car.  )

If people want to smoke in their car, that's their business.
