Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, because it distracts you and reduces your ability to maneuver.
Yes. Finding your cigarette, lighting it, tapping off the ash, and putting it out distract you. While holding it, you drive with one hand, like the driver in the image, which reduces your ability to maneuver. The smoke also irritates your eyes. Even so, traffic rules do not prohibit smoking behind the wheel, although it is not advisable.
