Tokyo taxis put smoke-ban plan into high gear 08/03/2007 THE ASAHI SHIMBUN Jumping on the no-smoking bandwagon, taxi companies in Tokyo plan to make their fleets completely smoke-free, despite a deluge of requests from customers seeking a nicotine fix over long distances. All taxis in the capital could become smoke-free as early as January. ======= I can’t tell you how many smelly taxis I’ve jumped into only to hold my breath until I finally get home. The stench gets into my clothes and sticks. I hate it eventhough I’ve been known to light up on many occasion. I just think a place as confined as a taxi makes it so the rider has to smell the byproduct of the drivers addiction. If I want to walk into a bar to have a drink and the clientèle’s smoke, I have a choice to walk out. With a taxi it’s different. Can’t taxi drivers smoke outside of their cabs? Or at least can they keep the cigarette outside the window? You must be logged in to post a comment. |
