I don, t smoke in the cab and dont care if anyone else does. But nervously vape like a trooper slyly in case some wet blanket grasses me up.

Good thing about vaping is that it leaves no tell tale signs apart from a fruity whiff depending on the flavour choice.

To combat this risk I am dabbling with a trucker flavour of stale BO, wet hot eggy ■■■■■ and a hint of dried ■■■■…

Our depot had to get rid of a van after the driver got his p45. He stunk of BO. Smoked 40 a day. His hiviz was brown. Three of us had a go at cleaning the van but nobody would drive it. The stench was unbearable.
I’m sure the fruity aroma would be the better choice.

what is up with smoking 40 a day ? stinking of bo ? or having a brown hi viz ?

what do you expect from a driver ?

Like I said before trubster people smoking in a shared truck are ignorant and can’t seem to understand that most of us don’t want to sit in a truck that stinks. There’s nothing worse than having a bite of my sandwich and smelling smoke on my fingers from the steering wheel… disgusting.

have refused several times to drive a dirty smelly truck (smoke, urine etc), i go to work clean yes it can be a dirty job and not afraid to get dirty. but i dont smoke never have it stinks and point blank wont drive a truck that does.

would rather go home :open_mouth:

bet you would get the job if you said that at an interview

although i understand your point but really being a trucker you have to be a bit more rough and ready, the term as rough as a bears arse springs to mind, its not an office job were a shirt and tie and clean fingernails are needed
sadly there are to many ocd sufferers driving trucks these days

And then the OCDs expect everyone else to be as paranoid when they’re off. I wont leave a mess but leave all the polish, cloths and notes telling me to clean xyz, and you’ll find said items exactly where you left them.

how on earth would you ever of survived driving trucks before the smoking ban was brought in ?

i never had a vote on the smoking ban it was brought in without me having a say so i refuse to respect it.

Did you have a vote on the law that makes murder illegal?

I survived like I do now, walk back into the office and ask for another set of keys :smiley:

If you ever manage to quit smoking before the cancer or emphysema gets you, you’ll realise how much you stink.

You don’t strike me as the kind of chap who has the strength of character to quit a longterm substance addiction though… so pray for a quick one (the long ones aren’t much fun) and rest in peace. :laughing:

you would be surprised at just what type of a man i am

cancer is in us all and can strike anyone at anytime, if you smoke or not or breathe in others smoke will not give you cancer, one day the cancer cells will just kick off and attack your body no one knows why, and if you see the kids dying from cancer who dont smoke you will understand just how hopeless a condition it is in such youngsters.

Well passive smoking and smoking itself have been linked to cancer for quite a while now haven’t they? Never mind chronic airways disease and coronary heart disease that might also kill you. There is strong evidence now too:

Anything that damages the structure of DNA can lead to the development of new cells which are often out of proportion and structure to those surrounding them. This development of new tissue encroaching on the other tissues and surroundings organs are what kills you :wink:

Don’t smoke … It causes cancer. Don’t drink … It causes liver disease. Don’t eat fatty foods … It clogs the arteries with cholesterol. Don’t go jogging … You’ll get hit by a mad cyclist !!! And you will be pleased to know you will live to a ripe old age , but … probably your last few years in a wheelchair, dribbling, incontinent and senile, ■■■■ that !!! I wanna go out with a bang knowing full well that I enjoyed the time I had.
