The thought that the smoke from a tiny engine is going to cause any serious
harm is CRAP.
Certainly compared with the amount of second hand smoke breathed in by
people close to smokers.
How many model engines do you come close to in a year?
Apart from "hands-free" models they are also banned for use while driving;
or so I am led to believe. The number of irresponsible,
it-can't-happen-to-me, drivers I see every day using hand-held mobiles makes
me wonder if anybody does anything about enforcing this Law.

Depends ,I was subject to a clip around the ear from Mother which
seemed pretty serious at the time.
As the nearest stockist for the perfumed stuff Tri-ang used to supply
was a two day camel ride away in a rarely visited town I found
substitutes. Tractor vapourising oil threw out a good amount of smoke
as did Diesel. Using tractor gearbox oil was a bit too much for her.
Non of my coach roofs or the Tunnel mouth needed weathering powders
,not that such things were about or of concern to me then. Trouble was
the wallpaper got weathered as well.

So much for the GOV enforcing the law on using mobiles while driving.
Didn't save two motorcyclists, when a white van man veered across a
country road into the path of two un coming motorcyclists.
result; one killed outright, the other seriously injured.
Hope the WVM get's the book thrown at him, 5 years min.

As an ex biker I would say :-
Lifetime ban,
Crush his car & phone,
Put him in the stocks at the next UK Superbike race,
Remove the hand he was holding the mobile with,
Then burn him at the stake.
My friend got killed buy a idiot who was lighting his cigar when the
accident occurred.

I tried 3-in-1 in my old Triang Midland 3F (the tubes of smoke oil
were hideously expensive). It worked quite well.... for a bit, and
then the element failed.

I assume you mean that you couldn't care less, not that you are
careless, cos that wouldn't make sense.
No, I don't have a problem with that. However, I do have a problem with
control freaks who think that they should be able to impose their wishes
for a smoke-free environment on the owners and customers of establishments
in which smoking used to be permitted. The shop I buy my cigars from
springs to mind. The private club that used to run "whisky and cigar"
nights in a seperate room from the rest of the club does too.
The anti-smoking extremists wouldn't have gone into that shop, or taken
part in the whisky tasting, anyway, so weren't being "harmed"! Nor were
the staff being "harmed" - you have to be a smoker anyway to work in a
cigar shop or to run a whisky and cigar night, cos a non-smoker wouldn't
be able to talk knowledgeably about cigar and pipe tobacco!
No thats the next part of the plan, as speed cameras can't spot dangerous
driving they will be installing cctv on main roads to watch your driving.
The footage will be overseen by a minimum wage worker who will just take
registration details and enter into the computer so a fixed penalty notice
will be automatically sent.
