Pet hate.....cigarettes and smoking.... full stop.....

Would not bother me in the slightest if they slap a total ban on it...

Oh yeah, a pet peeve of mine. I'm an anti-smoking Nazi. Hate it. Full stop.

ooh....touchy subject!!!!

I'm trying very hard not to be like that...........after all they say that there's none worse than the converted !

I'm one of the converted. Bad enough passengers forcing others to inhale their smoke in the confines of a car, but I could get complaints from other folk getting in later, could get reported for someone smoking in taxi, and theres always the chance of cigarette burns.

I had a massive burn mark on the back seat of my old Octavia.

Exactly, they have no respect " its only a taxi" is the common comment.

They forget the taxi is our private car.
Id like to do a big jobby on the seat of their car and hear what they have to say then!

I sometimes think it's a waste of my time putting " NO SMOKING " signs on taxis as some folk just wish to ignore them, then moan about needing a fag and . I agree with Philip's point of view about their reaction having the tables turned on them.lol

I'm an ex-smoker and I really had to psych myself up to quit and I think some of us ex-smokers are the most vehement about smoking. I went from 80 a day down to 0 overnight. If they say "mind if I smoke?" just reply with "mind if I fart?"
