Explanation

Smoking at the wheel can affect driving because you need at least one hand to hold the cigarette, which reduces control of the vehicle. In addition, the smoke can block the driver's vision, which can lead to accidents. According to the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), any factor that alters the driver's physical and mental fitness, including smoking, can increase the risk of crashes.
