Is Nothing Sacred?

From MSNBC:

"Ashtrays have been disappearing in cars like fins on Cadillacs, and so could smoking while driving in New Jersey, under a measure introduced in the Legislature. Although the measure faces long odds, it still has smokers incensed and arguing it’s a Big Brother intrusion that threatens to take away one of the few places they can enjoy their habit."


Considering all the things people do in their cars while driving, --some legal and some not so legal-- I don't think this proposed law has a prayer of (1) passing or (2) being enforced effectively if it does. It'll just mean that we'll be seeing the driver's head in front of us disappearing every few seconds as he furtively drags on the cigarette cupped in his hand...at least that's what we'll assume he's doing.
