Smoking a cig in a taxi, although illegal, it isnt some thing you could lose your licence over, its a £50 fine like any one else would get.
Have you ever smelt your hands after using a unit that get’s passed around. Make sure you wash them before you eat as they can stink of cigarette smoke because of holding the steering wheel. I always carry wipes with me.
who needs police…when we have trucknet

I think he means the drivers hackney/PH licence not driving licence.
I’m pretty sure they can suspend your Hackney/PH for smoking but it’s also something that will be dependant on your issuing authority and their own perticular set of rules.
[zb] vile. Scruffy turds that flick ■■■ ash on their kids head while pushing the push chair. If I ever decide I want to have ■■■■ skin, ■■■■ teeth, ■■■■ body odour, ■■■■ breath, and ■■■■ health, I’ll join the club, but until that time I’ll still question y they do it.

Littering definitely, it’s quite often in the paper round here that the council’s civil enforcement officer types have given out fines to people dropping cig butts.
Sister in law got done £80 for chucking a ■■■ end out of her car window…car at the side of her was one of TVPs unmarked RPUs
tell you what would be a good idea if they set up a hotline where you sent in vids of folk throwin down ■■■ butts or other petty offences . itd soon be snowed under with vids , but once they got the staff to handle it all, itd pay for itself in fine revenue in no time.
a few years ago,there was a govt hotline where you could report vehicles seen with excessive smoke from the exhaust -this was in the late 80s when car emission tests first came in
a good idea could be that if you sent enough vids in , you yourself could be excused from being done for speeding etc for a set period,say 6 months
I can understand smoking in the workplace is illegal, but surely when you are on break or rest, the cab is no longer a work place. Is smoking allowed then?

Not if it’s a shared vehicle,

Sorry but I disagree, theres a culture of complainers emerging already in today’s society and the last thing I want is to worry about habitual moaners trying to justify their excistence by grassing up every minor non event to further stroke their self righteous self image.
That said I do get annoyed when I see a BMW / Audi driver chuck a crisp packet out the window but if I was really upset I would deal with it myself by running them off the road and killing them. They survive because I realise that some one is employed to pick this crap up, not to mention the hassle it is to dispose of bodies these days.
Don’t know about prosecuted but i know a bloke who lost a £38k 40 hour max week pukka job for the sake of a ciggie at the wheel.
