Smoking doesn't just kill the smoker
This illegal smoking issue in The Tyne Tunnel has sparked off a lot of anger with smokers . Let's get one thing straight, this is not about smoking, it's about safety. A fuel leak and a cigarette butt thrown inside a tunnel could be disastrous, that's my point. If smokers can refrain from smoking at a petrol station then it's the same thing. See South Shields Gazette and Guardian articles. I may post the House of Commons response here in the near future.

Don't put your butt out the window
After my success in getting the Tyne Tunnel management to warn drivers of the dangers of throwing cigarette butts out of the window inside the tunnel, The Sunday Sun have now printed an article about it. Click here to see it.

The whole thing could blow
For some reason I was compelled to write to my MP after seeing drivers throw cigarette butts out of their car window INSIDE the Tyne Tunnel while queuing. It's paid off; my MP replied and a few days later, big LCD screens state that it is illegal to smoke inside the tunnel.
