“Smoking
Several studies have found smoking while driving increases crash risk. Accessing and lighting a cigarette within the car causes physical and mental distraction. The smoke from the lit cigarette, from the driver or passenger, could impair the driver’s vision, and a cigarette falling into the driver’s lap or onto a seat could cause distraction.
Research into the proportion of drivers in the UK engaging in distracting behaviour when behind the wheel revealed smoking was the second most frequently observed distraction during the study, second only to ‘talking to a passenger’.”
