A city court has banned smoking while driving in India's capital in what is believed to be the first measure of its kind in any major city worldwide.

Declaring “New Delhi roads dangerous to human life,” the city's High Court imposed new measures aimed at deterring habitually bad drivers.

The prohibitions include a smoking ban as well as using cells while behind the wheel.

Quote:

“Anything that distracts the attention of driver is dangerous. The human mind cannot do two things simultaneously.”

I think ban on smoking in private vehicles is not fair. How can a chain smoker manage himself without smoking for a long time, especially when he/she is on an hour-long journey to office or any other place? I think it will be better if it should be completely ban in public transportation vehicles. This law is hard to digest.

Smoking inevitably affects others, and that's the issue…

Can understand the smoking ban and being a smoker myself I'm slightly pleased as I will be less willing to endeavor out into the cold.

First of all smoking poses serious health risks. Including the smoking ban and a prohibition on using s while behind the wheel. Anything that distracts the concentration of driver is dangerous. The human mind cannot do two things at the same time.
