Should police officers be allowed to use tobacco products in police vehicles?

Asked by john65pennington (29258points) August 19th, 2010

About four years ago, my department issued a new order stating that all tobacco products are now banned from use inside police vehicles. Their idea was a better resale value in a used police car. But, exactly who buys used police cars? Most are located on Tow The Note lots or as taxi cabs, driven by people who are smokers. anyway, why would a person buy a used police car in the first place? Most have been mechanically updated through the years, but some smell terrible inside and have at least 100,000 miles on them. So, what’s your opinion? Should officers be allowed to smoke and/or use tobacco products in police vehicles?
