I hope there are great big signs at every border to warn unsuspecting out-of-staters (like me in a month or so). Or is this a big cash-generator --- no one feels much sympathy for us evil smokers..........apparently not even in the now violated sanctity of our own rolling homes! Doug '84 Westie

This is a joke, right? Ha, ha. Right?!? If someone can use a cell phone, use a lap top computer, apply make-up, eat a bowl of cereal, drive with a dog on their lap, read a book or newspaper, all with impunity, how the hell can smoking be the most pressing distraction whilst driving? Is this completely illogical or is it me? Alan Bosch & Phred ('88 Wolfsburg)

Just for the Info of those who live and travel through NYS. This morning the Motor Smoker Law goes into effect. This law basically comes down to, if you are smoking while behind the wheel you are subject to a fine. The fines are: 1st Offense: US$500 2nd Offense: US$1000 3rd Offense: US$1500 and I don't know what the penalties are after the 3rd offense. The reasoning behind the law is the distraction of smoking while driving and the health effects of others that are in the vehicle with you. -- Jason M.
