It is illegal to smoke while driving and who wants to get on a bus, passenger or driver, that reeks of smoke and is covered in ash !

It never was illegal to smoke in un-covered parts of the bus station. If it's not covered on three sides then its not the law its just council bureaucracy. I'm just waiting for the hoo haa when a driver is knocked down having to walk across the roundabout and ramp to have a fag.

I might add I'm not and never have been a smoker myself but am against the persecution of smokers including the smoking ban.
