    They were almost completely phased out almost 25 years ago.

    What are you driving?

    The 12v receptacles are still around, and you can buy the lighters, it is an option still really

    Oh, I know, and thank goodness, too. Otherwise, I would not have been able to power, my iPod, and eventually, my iPhone, through the 00s

    But I did notice that even the 12 V receptacles were phased out for a couple of years until they were brought back by popular demand because people are needing to power devices like phone chargers, and what not.

    Smoking while driving is illegal in many (not enough) countries so it makes a lot of sense that they would be removed.

    I wish it was banned everywhere. If you wanna kill yourself with cigarettes then do it the normal slow way with cancer, but dont endanger other people by being distracted while driving.

    That’s as unamerican as trying to ban masturbation while driving.

    Imo they should just ban smoking in public in general, I hate choking on someone's cancer fumes while going down to the store or whatever

    Yeah basically disallow smoking in all places where people gather. Bars, outdoor restaurants, sports events, etc.

    We have this and it works for the most part.

    Pubs there tends to be more people blocking the door than in the pub as when a smoker goes out for a fag the non smokers tend to follow to continue the conversation.
