One can only imagine how much it costs to keep smoked in cars clean as opposed to non smoking cars.
Also no threat of burn holes in the upholstery, rugs, headliners. No need to pay extra for vehicles with ashtrays. There has to be some cost savings to this move.
Speaking as an asthmatic who has been sent to the hospital for breathing in 2nd hand smoke, I give this policy a thumbs up.
