    If your trucks fast and you or your company don't care about fuel mileage then it don't matter if ya stop. I refuse to smoke in the truck don't get me wrong I love to smoke but I hate the smell of it in my home or my vehicles. besides I can choke one down in like 3 min and be rolling again I usually stop every 3-4 hrs. and yeah im the guy in the truck stop who gets in and out of the truck a few times before I go to bed but who cares my truck still smells brand new

    An initial investment of from 30-100+ can get you an Ecig or a higher end vaporizer which is the EXACT same thing as an Ecig, only more vapor, and better tastes. Ive been on my Vaporizer now for 15 weeks as of this coming Saturday, I am a 2-3 pack a day smoker, and It really does help with my cravings to smoke. You should check into it. It will save yourself the headaches of not smoking when you cant, and still get you the nicotine when you want it.

    Never pulled a Haz Mat load I didn't smoke with. It's your choice but guess you can say I don't care. I have been getting a DOT inspection with some pretty nasty stuff that was flammable, and peroxide mix. Smoked with him standing there never said a word to me. I have rolled threw scales with a cig hang out of my mouth with flammables and nothing. Tried the E cigs and couldn't stand them. I wouldn't worry about it to much. I wouldn't recommend throw them out the window for the people who worry more about what others are doing, and call an complain to your company.

    I also grew up watching my dad deliver loads of gas at a store smoking the whole time. It will take way more than a cigarette to cause problems.
