Title: Call to ban child-in-car smoking
Post by: Barman on June 17, 2009, 08:14:11 AM
Quote from: BBC Web Shite
Adults should be banned from smoking in cars when children are passengers, the new head of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health has said.

In a BBC News website Scrubbing Up column, Professor Terence Stephenson, said children deserved protection.

Personally I think they should mind their own business - the anti smoking lobby has become too strong. However, this bit made me larf the most: -

Quote from: A Fuckwit
He said the Canadian province of New Brunswick, California, South Australia and Cyprus had already introduced such legislation successfully.

Not only do Cypriots smoke everywhere, including a car full of kids, they never wear seatbelts or belt up the children. Young children are frequently seen standing up between the two front seats as their (chain smoking) parents drive along the motorway while chatting on their mobile phone.

Professor Terence Stephenson, you are an arsehole.

That doesn't mean Cyprus hasn't introduced the legislation, just that it is ignored like most stupid legislation is in EEC countries, other than the UK.

You have a motorway!

Motorway between Limmasol and Larnaca. A dual carriageway by UK standards

Limassol, Larnaca, Nicosia and Pafos all linked by motorways...  cloud9:

Also, some bits of it have demountable centre reservations so they can be used as emergency runways!  eeek:

Frankly I can't be bothered with such bollox any more. I now ignore all such nonsense ~ it does my blood pressure more harm than smoking, whilst eating a tuna sandwich, talking on my mobile and travelling at 90 mph down the M1.

Oh and carrots are better for you if you cook them whole ~ NO THEY ARE NOT! I fecking hate carrots!

What is this? Just guessing but is it a CFM-56-5c from an Airbus A340?

It 'may' be a dual carriageway by UK standards but after having had the dubious pleasure of driving  noooo: noooo: on the UK's M25 recently (all five clogged lanes of it that you have over there) I'm more than happy with our little two lane DC over here thank you and it's minimal traffic - apart from when the dozy tourist drivers are on it of course surrender:

Only when he has been doing this eastdrink048 of course - otherwise I'm not to be trusted behind the silver machine and certainly not on his blasted motorbike , which should have been sold by the way in exchange for the new projector but seems to be still here, newly taxed and insured for another year and has a new biking jacket to go with it too  Explode:
