Only if it can be proved you are driving without due care and attention whilst igniting/docking a fag. Can be done for this in
any circumstance, as the article, drinking, reading a map, fiddling with your sat. nav, changing cassette, turning around to tell of the kids, etc., etc.
No legislation, like mobile phones, on this .. they would have too many, and police busy enough already. Just the press putting a spin on it I would imagine.
Re: the taxi driver.. does say private hire vehicles, but there is no law that says you cannot smoke in a company vehicle whilst on your own, even though you could be picking up a colleague a little later.
