Smoking in cars has a safety dimension, which is an additional reason for a ban, but how would it be policed? Fiscal incentives may be more effective, for example fitting all cars with a smoke detection device and non-smoking cars could be given a higher trade-in value subsidised by government.We need to do our research before introducing more tobacco regulation as we have a lot already and people are obeying the law. Any additional legislation might be seen as provocative and could undo the good work already in relation to smoking.
Has Nudge,lie & legislate been effective?

I hate linking to this kind of crap.
Every charity has a different smoking rate listed,it's almost comical how some claim rates have gone up while the WHO claims rates have gone down.
I really hope they don't use tax stamps to try and measure the data.
