"I hope all American States will eventually follow the example given on the opposite side of the Atlantic, but it's great to see more US states are beginning to pay attention to common sense. In such a minute refined space, it makes perfect sense to keep it clean in all aspects. No cigarette smoking is a no-brainer, but small accidents can additionally be triggered by clutter and garbage being left in that same minute space. I thankfully don't smoke, and I have actually managed to train my 2 baby twins to toss any garbage straight into the vehicle trash can, making our vehicle protected from any unforeseen health danger."
