2nde hand smoke is going to damage a 16 year old legal smoker, who may well also be smoking in the car? You've missed out that part, because of the emotions that 2nd hand smoke on others evokes. It's like the people who want porn banned because (rightly) it isn't good for kids to see, but it stirs up enough emotion with that 'someone think of the children' seed with those pro-ban porn people that they immediately think of a 5 year old exposed to porn instead of a 15/16/17 year old 'child'.
Tell me what damage 2nd hand smoke is going to cause a legal, 16 year old smoker in your car, with the windows rolled down, that it justifies a £50 on the spot fine? Are we really that mollycoddled a society these days?
