In Wales, the answer might be, pretty far.

Gordon Williams, a painter from Wales, has been fined for breaching Great Britain’s smoking ban — by lighting up in his own van.

Officials told him his van was classified as a workplace. He was fined 30 pounds, about $60.

Williams says he’d understand being fined if he were a bus driver where he had contact with the public. But no one else encounters the smoke inside his van.

The County Council that issued the fine declined to comment.
