I’m a smoker but i have to say i agree with tobyjug. If it was a truck/van/taxi, then please yourselves, but an ambulance?! Surely ambulance’s by their nature have to be used as mobile operating theatre’s. Wouldn’t you find it a little strange to be wheeled into a hospital theatre to find a couple of gowned-up surgeons puffing away on tabs?! It’s not that she’s smoking, i don’t see a problem in her smoking on duty whatsoever, just seems a little inappropriate to me that she’s doing it in an ambulance.

having said that, I, like most posters on here feel that it should be a persons own decision to smoke in the cab whilst on their own.
Yes, if no-one else has to use it when they are finished.
I am an non-smoking agency driver and sometimes I feel sick when I get into a unit that the previous driver has been smoking in.
Last week I had to leave both windows open for TWO hours to get rid of the smell. It was so cold.
It is MY workplace also 
The word unhygenic springs to mind, if she turned up at an rta involving me and smelled remotely of ■■■■, i think i’d give her an open wound to match my own 
shouting ‘get the ■■■■ away from me you unsanitary ■■■■■’

i dont think you would!
Well done Tobyjug…you started quite a good conversation here.
I don’t have a problem with driving and smoking…its the rolling of said ■■■ i have a problem with, especially on M25 between A12 and M11 in the mornings!!
Take no notice of the Get a life,loser jibes…just kids!
You are quite right though…all “public” service vehicles have a smoking ban too, You didn’t grass her up did you? This is just a topic you felt we could all chat about, yes?

‘…it was the health proffessionals who landed us with the smoking ban…’
We can hardly blame a kindred …albeit medically trained… wheel-monkey for all the World’s smoking related medical research, mate.
In order of obnoxiousness, such guilt by association would align us with: D/ D & D murderers, Ram-Raiders, motorists doing 52 mph in lane one, shiny 4x4’s & the Belgians…
Mikejk:
‘…shouting ‘get the **** away from me you unsanitary ■■■■■’…’
Brilliant…
(zb) your just a ■■■■■■■ brown nose
personal attack edited mm
Thank you! 
I think that having O2 in the back in live cylinders might have something to do with it…
The fire brigade boys start jumping up and down when there is a RTC with these invloved because they make a VERY big bang if lit!!!
If she want s to be a social leper and smoke than thats fine by me…
mr bluecity:
get a life tobyjug, loser
theres no need for that mate, even tho it was quite funny lol
i think you will find the oxygen is in safe cylinders and an ambulance driver having a quick ■■■ is hardly at risk from blowing herself up ffs. i would think if it was that risky then she is endangering her own life by sitting in an ambulance with leaking oxygen cylinders around her.
Tobyjug:
‘…I saw something that really takes the biscuit…’
Crikey …all this banter about a medic tabbing (was it only baccy?) whilst overlooking the food handling aspect in this…
Have just recalled that I know a paramedic who on her admission regularly did blow alongside plod & Fire Rescue colleagues on shift.
I aint sayin nothing more…
what type of ambulance??
paramedic or just a transport ambulance?
if paramedic these are normally double crewed so where was the second person?
either way I don,t think it was right, in her profession too light up in the cab.
