This afternoon.
Government buildings, Dublin 2.
Pesky, baccy-baiting, meddling kids Fionn O’Callaghan and Milla Sunderland at the announcement of a start date [January 1, 2016] for a ban on smoking in cars “where children are present” under the nannyish Protection of Children’s Health (Tobacco Smoke in Mechanically Propelled Vehicles) Act 2014.
A smack is what they need.
Fight!

Wonderful! Bring it on….
Or
How dare the Nanny State tell me I can’t ruin the health of my children by my smoking in a confined space when they too are present….I mean, what’s the point of bringing kids into the world if I can’t help take them out of it….
i love a good smoke in the car, even when i have young dougal in the back..
Whilst injecting weed into your eyeballs.
Injecting weed, eh……. hmmmmm…… * scratches head *
Nope, can’t get me head around that one :)
I prefer to smoke the weed like a cigarette.
Does it work the same if you just stick it under the lids?
Oh you can get liquefied weed, it’s for vaping and technically it’s not weed, but it is, but what I’m confused. I need to stop injecting this weed not weed.
“under the lids”
I dunno…. I don’t even know what that means….
You kids and your modern drug takin’ methods. In my day….
I know legislation moves at a glacial pace but I would have thought this kind of stuff would have been nailed down about 20 years ago.
I’m not in favour of nailing down kids in cars, personally..
Well look at the Southside Dubliner with his seatbelts
How did you know they’re wrest from Rialo? The southside’s finest.
Correction:
A “bag of” smack is what they need.
What about your mother? Sexist, etc..
They’re doing another one about driving while on crack cocaine next week. They’re using women for that one.
Mums get blamed for enough, it’s time the dads took a hit*
(*from the bong)
Absolutely and if it was the other way around they’d be all burning their bras on the steps of the dail.
More legislation for cretins…..smoking in a confined space with children present…what type of ape does that?
You’d be surprised
Ma Clampers did when I was growing up :)
And sure, I’m grand. Sorta.
sure ya let the kids stick their heads out the window. what the jaysus hell is wrong with you?
So only Mum can smoke in the car? What if Dad’s driving in drag? Loophole!
What if you have just had sex with you wife in the car. Does it matter that the kids are in the car at that point?
Big deal. What about protecting all the children who are homeless? Red herring legislation to distract from lack of action elsewhere.
Get a grip.
…of the the wheel son while I light up a smoke.
Can the kids still smoke in the back?
LOL
yes, if only to cover the whiff of dan boyle’s farts AND they’re wearing seat belts.
IT’S ONLY A BLEEDIN JOKE, BROADSHEET!!
Every health minister in Ireland eeks out a pathetic law like this. It guarantees them a job in Europe if all goes wrong. A certain James Reilly was deemed very highly in European quarters for this type of guff and still is despite being a national disaster. And no you shouldn’t smoke with your kids in the car or house. My mother did, biggest problem was our worm of a family GP who told her it was fine, this was in early 90’s.
Our family Dr had an ashtray in the office, I do recall. Never saw him smoke when there… but it’s damn funny now that I think about it :)
at my very first job interview with aer lingus maintenance section, the manager smoked through it, as did i. 1988 it was, fado, fado, nuair a bhi me og..
Dad!
Bit sexist, particularly when u consider more women smoke than men.
