For my car its no cigs or vaping.....

 

I'm OK with vaping. And if it was a good looking woman as in the opening post, I'd have to consider it...

 

Ew, no. I even had someone ask one night if I'd wait for them to have a smoke when I pulled up to the pick up and they weren't even ready. I said "No." And then the guy claimed to be an Uber driver who would do the same for his clients. He then chose to get in instead of smoking. Terrible ride.

 

In NJ, the wait time between arrival and starting the trip is twice the usual minute rate. So long as I wasn't missing an upcoming surge, I might have waited. Sometimes I did, sometimes I didn't.

 

If it will get me a tip and 5 stars. Ozium is your best friend

 

Not for cigarette smoke. Ozium works great for pot, which dissipates as it is and doesn't seem into fabric. But covering up perfume or cigarettes, Ozium don't cut because that kinda shit gets into the fabric.

 

Official Uber Policy is No Smoking.
I was attempting to find a reference on their site, but alas, they don't even do a good job of informing customers of this.

 

Only been asked once in 1200 rides. I think if the car looks like it has not been smoked in most are respectful enough not to ask.

 

I love the ones that are in the middle of smoking a cigarette as you pull up. Pretty close to smoking in the car at that point since they stink it up just a much when they get in as if they were still burning.

 

I will not allow it as it is my personal car, and I drive my wife & baby boy in this same vehicle.

 

Gross. No.

 

I have at times, haven't at times.

It just depends on the ride .


If pax is cool. If it's a good fare. How much time I will likely have to air out in between the next fare. If I remembered to bring the febreze.

Out of like 500 rides, only 5 have asked, only 2 have been allowed.

 

i had to look up this product. but my answer is still NO,

I recommend the country fresh as well. Both do the trick.

 

No and No.

 

No, and if you are finishing one as I pull up or smell like cigarettes when you get in it's an automatic 4-star maximum if you don't tip.

 

Agree with @mp775. The stench of smoke coming into my car is an automatic deduction of AT LEAST 1 star.

I've noticed these smokers will also have closer to a 4.6 avg rating as well.

 

No one smokes in my car.
Bad enough some pax smell like they 've been swimming in tobacco

 

I had someone vape in my car. I didn't notice the smell until next pax mentioned it smelled like vanilla cigar..and he liked it. I apologized and cracked a window down to vent it out just in case.

 

I vape, you vape , we all vape together

 

No smoking allowed in any taxi/FHV car in nyc, if you get caught =big ticket, no fly by "uber /lyft" nighters work here. Also NO smoking allowed in my car PERIOD.

 

So who was that bimbo.

 

Probably the opening posters wife...

 

Never had anyone ask, have seen people stamp out there cig before they enter my car.

 

I had a guy ask and I said no, he said, cool I want to respect your car" 5 stars for the Pax

 

I told a guy he couldn't smoke. When I dropped him off at the airport he sparked one up blew the smoke in my car and shut the door. 1 Star and a report to Uber. Uber asked if I wanted to charge him with the $150 cleaning fee. Told them it was ok, but he can keep the 1 star rating on me. The agreed with my decision.

 

I haven't started yet but definitely NO. If you let one smoke in your car then they will expect that they can in all future rides. For me, I'm a non-smoker but I am also allergic to tobacco.

Do you allow passengers to smoke in your car?

I dunno??...If she took off some of her "war paint" and I got a better look at her in the sunlight I could prolly answer your question better, How's her backside??...At this point I'd say no she can't smoke in my car !!!...[/QUOTE]

 

I don't allowing smoking in my car since I quit 5 1/2 years ago, over the Halloween weekend I had several riders wanting to and even asked if they could. I stated no I'm sorry I do not allow smoking in my car, I ended up seeing my rating drop as a result. So basically your damn if you do and damn if you don't riders can really hammer your rating simply because they can. Your rating drops too low and your shut off as a driver.

 

your rating will be hurt a lot more by all the other people who ride in your car and it smells like smoke

 

Hell no. I'm allergic to it. And no vaping either. Allergic to that crap too. It's only a few minutes, they can wait.

 

A passenger asking if they can smoke gets the same reaction as a passenger asking if I can take five people (stink eye, shit rating, possible cancel/drive-off). They know the answer, the question is just spam to see if they’ve got a weakling driver. It’s just a ******y thing to ask.
