ShuggieMac	Bloody hell - I can't answer your question but from the replies of others it looks like you may have to. It is a sad, sad, sad reflection on life in the UK now, the nanny state gone stark, staring mad. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

fujiheadgirl	hmmm, it is strange that they're asking it now but I mean if you don't smoke and it is a company car then why not just put it in there? i think because the car technically belongs to them then they have every right to ask you do this.

TracylovesABBA	The required by law sticker is actually a circular symbol, the same size as your tax disc holder. You can buy a tax disc holder with the no smoking sign on it and display that - it's legal and all you need. If you really are pressured into putting it on, then try using blu-tack, then you can remove it when you're not on business, but still display it to appease your bosses. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

syringeshell	your employer is correct afterall the car belongs to them not you and as from july 1st it is illegal to smoke in any enclosed space. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Scott H	If the employer pays for the car, then put on the sticker. It's that simple. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

askmeanother	It's not a question of whether you smoke. The company are required by law to display no smoking signs in the workplace and as the car is a company car it has to have a sign. And it will probably need to be prominently displayed. Nothing you can do. If the car was yours it would be a different matter. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Citizen DeCat	It is a company car, and it is classed as your workplace (English law, not sure about Scottish). Bear in mind, that if you ever drive in to England, you will have to abide by English law. Do as you are told. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Enoch IV	Well in effect it's not your car, it's there's. I must be honest though and say I wish all I had to worry about in life was a sticker in my car Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

purplerain	I am unsure of the law in Scotland but in England it is a legal requirement. I think it's more to protect the company if someone were to sue them for being damaged by smoking in the same car. Whether you smoke or not is irrelevant it is to cover them I think. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

kat k	No problem, display it on the UNDERSIDE of your dash! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Fordman	It is a company car. It is not yours. You may use it, but they own it. If they say to put the sticker in the car, then put the sticker in the car. Don't mess up your job over something that really doesn't matter. Good luck Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jamand	In EFFECT it ISN'T your car - it is hired by the company and they have the right to do with it what they wish. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jimobasa	If it is a company car, then it is considered as a workplace for the purposes of the new UK smoke-free legislation and therefore your employer is quite correct. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
