Your non-smoking taxi smells like an ashtray
Friday, September 11th, 2009“Buddy,” I say as I get into a friend’s taxi for a visit while in a slow period, “your supposedly ‘non-smoking’ taxi smells like an overloaded ashtray.”
“Smoking in my cab is illegal and the Nazi F**king Police would write me a huge ticket for it.”
“Yah right,” I laugh, “You must smoke about two packs a day in here.”
“I don’t smoke any in here.” He protested. “The f**king Nazi law says I have to have this non-smoking sticker on my window or I can’t get a f**king taxi permit. So instead of sitting inside my cab and blowing my smoke out the window, I stand outside smoking and I blow all my smoke back into the cab through a cracked open window. That way I’m not breaking the Nazi’s f**king law but I’m giving the non-smokers who elected the f**king Nazi government a good strong whiff of my anti-Nazi opinion. Smokers that get into my cab appreciate my allowing them to light-up as long as they pay the smoking fine if we get one.”

This cab driver makes some very good points. All taxi cabs here are forced by law to have a non-smoking sticker, yet some cab drivers DO smoke, whether inside or outside as my friend does. So instead of protecting non-smokers from smoke, the law just gives a false impression of all cabs being ‘non-smoking’ ones. A practical way to protect non-smokers would be to forbid a cab from having a ‘non-smoking’ sticker on a vehicle where the driver does smoke. Conversely, it would also allow a smoker to choose a smoking cab if that is what they want. But that common sense approach doesn’t net the greedy government any extra ticket revenue and we all know that it’s all ONLY about the money anyways.
My friend called it a f**king Nazi law, but in fact it is a STUPID f**king Nazi law.
