Smoking is a personal choice. It is sometimes illegal to smoke in a car in public spaces, even if it is yours.
When is it legal to smoke in a car? The law okays smoking in any British car provided all the occupants are 18 years of age or older. Also, the Highway Code, Rule 148, permits smoking while driving as long as it does not distract the driver.
Can you smoke when there are children in the car? No. The Children’s and Families Act 2014 requires all private, hired, or shared cars to be smoke-free if there is a minor present in the vehicle. However, there could be some exceptions to this law:
- The car is a convertible with the roof fully open
- The driver is 17 years and is in their car
