How appropriate for your blog O.H .
I suppose the greeting the driver gave to the tobacco control officer was "Roll Up,Roll Up"
OK I'll get my coat
You're fucking kidding me.
Hate to be a link whore but Irish referendum ballot box interference?
was it armed?
I can get Super Skunk easier than cheap baccy in my town and if I smoke a fag in a pub will be punished more severly than some crackhead motherfucking spliffarse.
Classic divide and conquer. Instead of fobbing off hysterical anti-smoking fake-coughers and hand-wavers, simply give them a badge, a clipboard, and watch them go.
There's always one way to Find Out whether the "Control Officers" wear uniforms or not, but I can't find any on-line pictures or vids.

I just stumbled across that while searching for the non-story about fewer people needing treatment for addiction to hard drugs.
I try to be eloquent and all, but seriously, what the fuck.
It makes me want to light up a gobful of fags & huff & puff my way through them - in public - FFS.
I want to be a tobacco control officer. It sounds like fun.
"You. You're standing outside this pub and not smoking. Light up or fuck off."
"I'm sorry, Sir, but this is a smoking shelter. You cannot shelter from force ten gales and blizzards in here unless you smoke. Move along now."
I could flag down cars... "Excuse me, I'm a tobacco control officer. Have you got a light?"
Yeah, a dream job.
Off topic but I thought of OH when I saw this!!
A sensitive internal document setting out how to prevent the disclosure of Ministry of Defence secrets has been leaked onto the internet.
You couldn't make it up!
Just like the Bottom Inspectors in Viz.
'Have you wiped, sir?'
I am going for a brown khaki uniform, with an anal probe hanging off the belt.
At some point it is going to have to come to head-shavings and parading jerry-bags on carts through the town.
This works better than hangings - minimally violent, maximally humiliating - which is the whole point.
here they are.

My Local Authority employs at least one such Tobacco Control Officer ( and so probably does yours ) who is expected to act upon " complaints " though mainly in workplaces, clubs and pubs. This chap seems to have overstepped his authority ( like they do ) and assumed the woman was in a Works vehicle; as she wasn't she should have told him where to stick his Enforcement Notice.
This approach would not work in the Channel Islands where it is illegal for anyone to smoke in any vehicle, ever.
