Vehicle values 'may be slashed if driver smokes'
Female drivers partial to the odd cigarette behind the wheel could find that it has a detrimental effect on the value of their vehicle as well as their health.
A study conducted by British Car Auctions (BCA) has highlighted presentation as a key attraction for those looking to pick up a new model, meaning that the smell of cigarettes and yellow stains do not draw in buyers.
Recent road rules state that smoking motorists can be pulled over should police judge them as a risk on the road, while last year's ban on lighting up in an enclosed public space means that company drivers can be punished should they smoke behind the wheel.
Tim Naylor, BCA PR manager, remarked that employers should make sure their workers are not smoking on the job.
He stated: "This will avoid the lingering smell of cigarettes hanging in the interior as well as eliminate the risk of discolouring and leaving scorch marks on the interior trim or upholstery."
