I thought this was supposed to be about smoking in public places? Since when has the cab of a lorry been a public place? Maybe they are considering any hitch hikers you may pick up.
It's just some company's policy if in a company car but, as far as I am concerned, they are just being pevish .. considering it is still to be yer place of work,etc., Willow. Ok if you have a colleague with you that doesn't smoke, fair enough, however, if on your own just control freaking. For instance, I can't smoke at work,ok about that, but if the Directors also decide I cannot smoke in my car 'on their car park' nothing I can do about it. To me, however, that would again be extremely churlish and controlling.

When I go anywhere nowadays, usually hire a car .. this company have 'no smoking' stickers emblazoned all over it. Not sure why ?? or how they stand legally, or what they could do about it if they discovered I had smoked whilst using it. Possibly because of the ash I may drop on the floor .. make more of a mess trying to eat a sandwich on a motorway service to be honest !! Crumbs and salt everywhere, and if they ever put one of those smelly air fresheners in them, will definitely think about claiming compensation, as have extremely bad reactions to them. !
