Can the habit of smoking while driving be a source of distraction for the driver?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Smoking while driving is an obvious risk behavior that multiplies the chances of having an accident. The distraction is not limited to holding the cigarette with the fingers, which already reduces the freedom of movement needed to handle the steering wheel safely with both hands, but includes a series of continuous secondary actions: looking for the pack, lighting up, paying attention so that the ash does not come off or fall on the driver, and putting out the butt in the ashtray. In addition, smoke can irritate the eyes and impair vision. For these reasons, smoking causes distractions in any setting, both in built-up areas and on the open road.
