Granted this is in Germany... but I'm sure it won't take long for the Anti Smoking Brigade here in the U.S. to catch on to Europe's "progressive stance":

Several German lawmakers want to ban smoking while driving, saying it's hazardous.

"The dangers of causing an accident rise drastically when you smoke and drive," said Peter Danckert of the ruling Social Democrats. "I want a complete ban on smoking for drivers."

Danckert and Katherina Reiche of the opposition Christian Democrats told Germany's best-selling newspaper, Bild, they will push for legislation to outlaw smoking for drivers.

Mothers Against Smoking Drivers did not immediately comment... but I'm sure they're 100% behind this.

Update: The Agitator links to this item, and a few more nuts laws... including this one I pointed out a few days ago. I just wish he spelled my name right.
