Let the truckers smoke

Category: Everyday Topics — The Bum @ 4:44 pm

So I heard a story of a truck driver getting fined for smoking in his own cab because he was “smoking in an enclosed work environment”. It’s illegal, in Canada, to smoke in such places, and this is most definitely one of those very vague areas of the law that I can easily see both sides on. I’ll throw in my two cents on the issue. This can be taken two ways, and I think the entire situation is a shit-storm in the making. I can’t stand being in a smoker’s car. I can’t stand walking through a designated smoking area. I just don’t like the smoke, and I don’t think that if I’m in a typical area that I should have to breathe in their mess. I also don’t think they should be kept from smoking. I don’t think they should be banned from smoking in their own residences…
