Smokeing in trucks

i cnt believe what the op is askin :open_mouth: there r 1000’s of drivers out of work and your worrying about that ? stop being a big kid and get on with it, if it bothers u that much buy a bottle of febreeze !!!

Harry Monk:
No smell can last forever

Aye it can. I bought a car three years ago and it still smells of dog! :wink:

Smoking is an absolutely disgusting habit,should be banned totally everywhere in public and transport and let the smokers light up in their own house only where they can happily kill themselves and the rest of the family including the kids that dont have a say in the matter!

As for smoking in Lorrys ,vans etc must be a total ban, open that door the smell is horrendous its in the seats in the headlining etc and yes your nose does get use it after a few minutes but you still continue to breathe in those harmfull toxins!

Anyway i thought there was a law that says no smoking in company vehicles especailly if there is a possiblity that someone will get in it?

And whilst im on my " Hi Horse " Smokers who get free National health treatment should start to pay for their treatment even for Ingrowing toenail operation!

Well Tricky Dicky, I do hope you’re a tramper and your night heater stops working during this very cold couple of weeks :smiley:
You’ll be safe in the knowledge that it IS illegal to smoke in a workplace…but you’ll also find out that a lorry cab isn’t a workplace as regards working ( sleeping in the cab) in a minimum temperature. :unamused: :unamused:
I hope too that I can park next door to you with my night heater buzzing away and the window cracked open to let out the exceasive heat and smoke of course :wink: :smiley:

I don’t smoke anymore but agree with every word of it. Apparently I suffer from acute Asthma, but never did when I smoked :confused:

Why, does smoking cause ingrown toenails? Surely, as it is tobacco tax which largely pays for the NHS, it is non-smokers who should pay, rather than expecting smokers to pay for their treatment?

Just for the record Inconsiderate smokers who smoke in my allocated vehicle really ■■■■ me off!!!
I’m a tramper and unfortunately i’ve had my 2 yr old Scania took off me and been given a 12mth old Volvo heap which absolutely reaks of smoke,the amount of ■■■ ash ive had to clean from behind the seats and all over the cab walls and bunks was f… unreal and this is with a company who are"supposed" to do cab checks everyweek.

Christ knows how long it will take to get rid of the smell,i object to my bedding and clothing stinkingof smoke and just find people who leave cabs in this way,total tossers!!

My old man smokes roll ups and drives trucks and when i went with him as a lad,he smoked and his cab never smelt because he had the window open.Why cantpeople who smoke do this perhaps??

My truck was one of the better ones to come from Aveley depot,some of them have got to be valeted due to the state of them.
No sorry as far as i know there is a law about smoking in the workplace and its illegal to smoke in the cab,i also suffer from an allergy to smoking so that is why i’m so anti smoking.

By the way,if there are any Avely drivers on here could you tell me when Stevie Wonder started at your depot doing cab inspections■■?

Well said Harry. Its the fact that this sort of whining has been allowed in government that has caused the nightmare H&S crap we all face.

BRAVO I SAY, BRAVO. :laughing:

How did Andy Best find time to write to this site as a non smoker he should have been in the pub enjoying the fresh air he and others of his ilk demanded or has his local pub shut down like so many others have since the smoking ban.Just a thought,sixty a day and I enjoy every one,own the lorry and don’t give a ■■■■ but hell! the price of air fresheners is bankrupting me.

there is one easy solution. don’t employ none smokers. everyones happy.

ROG:
From what I understand of the law on this - which is not a lot !! - you can refuse to breathe in smoke which is currently active (passive smoking) but there is nothing, as far as I know, that refers to the actual residual smell.

If we could refuse to drive vehicles with smells then that would open up a whole can of worms !!
Do cans of worms smell when open ■■? :wink: :laughing: :laughing:

you got to be a sad git to refuse to breathe in smoke or air from anyone one else lol

The agency guy was very inconsiderate to smoke in a cab where its obvious that the regular man is a non smoker.He has done nothing to enhance the reputation of agency workers.

As an o/d, I know smoking is illeagle in trucks.Therefore any driver found smoking in my trucks would be given a verbal warning, then written warnings then dismissed if found to still be ignoring the law. I personally think it is a stupid law but it is law and we cant choose which laws we obey and which we ignore. If you cant find 5mins for a ■■■ out of the cab every hour then perhaps you are being routed too tight.I havnt had a ciggy for ten years (have a heart attack at 42, its really easy to stop then.)but I still crave one with a pint but would never smoke in somebodys truck.

Maybe pubs will have to change to survive, same as the rest of us.
