It goes further than that. If he is a one man business and owns his van
the law has no business interfering in whether he smokes in it or not.
I have a workshop as part of my house - and I sometimes carry out
paid for
work in that. Should the law ban me from smoking in there too?

Not sure but I believe the test is whether any other employees or
co-workers will EVER be carried in the vehicle. I.e. The idea is to
protect those at work from danger.

How about motor mechanics who have to sit in the vehicle whilst
servicing it?
They should have some protection too...

Council tenants (in my area) must not smoke indoors 30 minutes prior to
a council workman/sub contractor/official/pen pusher entering their
property. One person I know, who works for the council, boasts that he
managed to smoke 3 cigs waiting outside a house for 30 minutes as the
"client" answered the door whilst smoking.

Does this work both ways? Could/can a 'customer' (we're all customers
now :-) ) refuse access to someone who has smoked in the last half hour?

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious

Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
