Smoking inside a Volkswagen is still better for You than Standing Behind One?

Smoking inside a Volkswagen is still better for You than Standing Behind One?

Date:  1 October 2015

A law banning smoking inside vehicles carrying children has come in force in many countries, U.K., Australia, Canada, France, etc.  Drivers and passengers violating the law will be fined – even if the windows or sunroof are opened.

Proponents of this Car Smoke Ban law, e.g. Lung Cancer Associations, are very pleased as the law strives to protect passengers from secondhand smoke and improve road traffic safety, for example, preventing the drivers from getting distracted and throwing cigarettes out of the windows.

Smokers and other opponents of this law insisted that you are way better off smoking inside a Volkswagen than breathing in while standing behind one. They argued “We have quite correctly brought in legislation against the harmful effects of smoking inside a Volkswagen, but where is the law about having one run its engine in front of you?

Volkswagen owner Sanda Watson rebutes: I don’t see the big deal to be honest, chemicals coming out of the exhaust don’t actually reach me inside the car, so I’m fine with it.

If you’re so keen to avoid breathing in any Volkswagen car fumes, then you should just go and live where there aren’t any Volkswagen cars, obviously.
