What about fining people for sneezing?

I can't believe this. A new law in Britain will make it an offense to smoke while driving. A motorist caught in the act of taking a drag will have to 'cough up' £60. Smoking is a "distraction". Well, so is talking to other passengers, disciplining children, looking at billboards and road signs, changing the radio station, turning on/off the heat or defroster, blowing your nose, scratching, coughing, sneezing and probably dozens of other things. This is ridiculous.
