The fact that the MCA are involved makes me think that the smoking on boats
ban only applies to boats which come under their jurisdiction - like
passengers boats with more than 12 people. However, we plan to make the
cabin of Bluebell, the community boat we are restoring , a No Smoking area.
I don't see any problem with the driver or crew smoking on the back deck
though.
I am not so sure about the smoking ban not applying in lorries. I seem to
recall that there was a fuss when the smoking ban was introduced up here
last year that lorry cabs had to become No Smoking areas at the Scottish
border.
