Explanation

Smoking at the wheel is not expressly prohibited, but it is not advisable: lighting the cigarette, holding it or flicking the ash makes you take your eyes and hands off driving, and the smoke can irritate your eyes. It can be penalised if it prevents you from driving with freedom of movement or attention.
