Statistics/insurance claims prove that women are more prone to accidents due to the fact that they do short journeys involving children in the back of cars who cause mayhem with their boisterousness, and distract the Mum, by far outweighing any smoking-related accidents
Let's ban all children from our cars, shall we ?  |
Children are distracting but a crash caused by distraction from a child is much more reasonable than a crash caused by a cigarette that could've waited. They'll have the same principles of using a mobile phone and as there isnt really hands free cigarette and ash catcher, its simple enough to just not allow it at all.
To compare an unnecessary puff on a fag to the necessity of travelling with children seems a very unreasonable one in my mind. Not exactly a good comparison.
The other main problem about smoking in cars isnt the likely-hood of burning yourself anyway, its the disposal of cigarettes out of car windows they're also interested in, which DO cause a large amount of accidents from ignited spillages on the road to flying in other car windows and burning other drivers leading to accidents caused. Its a case of ALL road users safety not just your own.
