Fairly sure that something similar applies in England as well.
I am told smoking is not allowed in my (leased) co car, even during
private use.
There is a sign, on the back of the VEL holder.
It's not an issue for me as I don't smoke and would never allow a
passenger to do so. What others chose to do in their own co cars is
their own business and there is certainly no pro-active enforcement
or spying going on by our management or the leasing co.
I act as a driver for a local charity, taking people to the doctor,
etc. I ma required by law to have a "No Smoking" sign in my car when
I do this. I find that intrusive.
I work for an animal rescue centre. The beagles are always trying to pinch a
cig off me when in my van.
