I don't really under stand this law. The cab of the truck is a work place for one person THE DRIVER. It not open to the pubic. So if that 1 driver wants to smoke more power to him. If this law does pass it will be one of the biggest BS laws i have ever seen.

I dont think it comm. vechicles. I work for the gov. in Ohio and the copy they handed us of the law they where talking mainly about gov buildings,vechicles and grounds . plus they have six months from the 8th to make as many revisions to the law they think nessary. As far as I was told the only way it will affect a truck driver is if you are a state of ohio employee . execpt when you deliver and if it is a actule factory or warehouse they are aloud designated smoking areas at least ten foot away from all doors. This maybe wrong but this is how it was explained to me by my boss,also last I heard thay didn't even know who was going to be incharge of the enforcement issue

As far as company trucks goes.... They should keep enough non-smoking trucks around for the non-smoking drivers...... Makes me sick to smell that stuff....

I don't smoke and don't want to be around it, but I don't think we need more legislation than we have now. ops:

Generally, I am against more legislation on anything. Nevertheless, I see the many abuses by smokers, and I can't help but think that something needs to be done. In many places smokers can smoke only so close to a doorway. They ignore that distance and you have to fight your way through the smokers and the smoke. It seems like every smoker will take a deep puff on their cigarette and holding their breath before coming back inside, there they exhale the smoke in my good clean air. Of course they threw their butts on the floor or in the urinal, anywhere but the trash. How many fires have been attributed to smokers? Recently, in my CDL school we had to police ourselves on the range each day. We were told to pick up the cigarette butts off the ground. I told them I wouldn't. A study needs to be completed on smoker's pollution. I bet the results would get the greens up in arms. How much of the cost of health care is passed on to the nonsmokers? Smokers have proven time and again they can't control themselves so it is up to others the get them to clean up their act.

Ok I've been tryin to keep my mouth shut.. lol. I smoke. Not the best decision in my life but I do and I"m ok with it. Like someone said earlier there are smokers that don't care and smokers that do. I like to think of myself as a smoker that does care. When I go out to a bar or casino (I'm in Arizona right now WOOT for indian gambling!) and the people on both sides of me are smoking then I'll smoke no problem. But if I sit down and one person isn't smoking I've ALWAYS asked if its ok if I smoke and if they say no then I won't or I'll go find another seat.

I have a really good friend back home that doesn't smoke but he's offered repeatedly to let me smoke in his house or car. I just excuse myself and go outside to smoke. I mean it is my decision to smoke not his or anyone elses and I don't feel entitled to force them to smoke just because I want to.

On a similar note, having non smoking trucks available for non-smokers would be ok with me. However I HATE being told by the government that I can't smoke somewhere public. I've never owned a business but I have friends that have bars/restaurants/etc... and they HATE these laws. Unless the government OWNS the building how in the hell can they dictate what goes on (within reason obviously prostitution, drugs, etc... are different) inside?

Ok... I gotta pack, got my license straightened out this evening so I'm gonna show up at Swift school tommorow morning and see if they'll take me.
