Dunno, but that sounds like a two tartan flask and extra butties trip to me.

( Free bump in the convenient disguise of the expected and may I say, deserved mild insult )

Some closets remain firmly closed. Are you still allowed to smoke on station tops?

I thought cigar lighters and ashtrays were optional extras on most cars these days. So if your car is a company car - is it possible to even rode them? It is illegal to smoke in a company car. Not that that stopped Humph :-)

Doubt it. It's also a legal obligation to display a no smoking sign.... anyone done for not displaying that? My last two cars I didn't put the sticker on. This car has it on the tax disk holder - on the inside/windscreen side of course.

The i10 has an ash cup, a cig lighter and an additional 12v output in case you want to charge your sat nav while lighting a cig. You can tell it is made in India!

The tax disc holders in the company cars at my last employer had a freephone number visible from the outside, with a message encouraging people to phone it and shop anyone spotted smoking in the vehicle.
It's a very widely flouted law. Not aware of anyone ever getting done for it.

It has a 12v power outlet thingy in the cubby hole in front of the gear lever, but not a fag lighter thing as such. (What would the Yanks make of that use of the word fag?)

I think there was a case where a lorry driver was done for smoking in his cab just after the ban came in, but cant now find a link.

Its the only one I have heard of though
