Open the window is not enough

From the Corriere results of a new study on smoking in cars:
http://www.corriere.it/salute/sportello_cancro/10_giugno_29/fumo-passivo-automobile- finestrino_67da6bde-805d-85d3-11DF-00144f02aabe.shtml

Come è agevole immaginare, fumare in auto espone ai rischi del fumo passivo (anche il fumatore stesso, naturalmente) e l'ambiente chiuso (che nemmeno il finestrino aperto può del tutto depurare) amplifica tali effetti.  Si propone da più parti da qualche anno di vietare il fumo in auto. Io personalmente sono d'accordo e inasprirei la pena nel caso di bambini a bordo.


Fondamentalmente le ragioni che dovrebbero portare il legislatore verso questa direzione sono almeno di quattro tipi: 

1. health (as above),
2. safe driving: smoking distracting, especially when you turn on or turn off the cigarette, or when - alas - it falls into the same car as we drive;
3. forest protection, according to a French study 16% of accidental fires depends on the lighted butts from cars dropped in transit
4. street cleaning: the same study attributes to cigarette butts (but here also has to do pedestrians), almost 14% of the costs of urban cleaning.

I found some information regarding the prohibition of smoking in cars in the world: the prohibition is almost always provided in the car when there are children. This is what happens in four states in Australia, in four provinces in Canada, Cyprus, South Africa, UAE and in five or six other U.S. states. And in many other states are being discussed with regard to its introduction.

Instead, in San Marino (220 km of road network) the ban is already in place with a fine of 100 euro, but only for the driver. The ratio appears to be the fact that smoking distracted driving. In addition, the passenger must ask permission if the driver wants to light a cigarette (otherwise fine).


In the UK the ban already in force but only for vehicles that are workplaces (such trucks, vans, buses and minibuses, for example).


The history of legislative proposals to incorporate in our system such a prohibition is clearly articulated: maybe I'll make the subject of a future post. In any case, suffice it to say that our Senate has set aside once again the anti-smoking rules in the reform of the Highway Code just last month. Now the House will try again with the new amendments, we'll see what happens.


Never even a shot!
