England

Regulations relating to smoking in company vehicles came into force on 1 July 2007. The position is that:

• enclosed vehicles which one or more persons use for work will be no-smoking premises and covered by the ban. The ban applies to cars, vans and lorries at all times if they can be used by one or more persons, as driver or passenger, in the course of paid or voluntary work – regardless of whether they are in the vehicle at the same time;

I didn't get a reply

Enclosed vehicle, yes

Use by one or more persons, yes

van, yes

driver, yes

paid work, yes

Banned? Yes

Action? None

Blind eye? Yes, it is Company Policy to ignore rules, regulations and the law, it would seem.

Managers and shared Company cars should also get a mention.
