- It makes one hand unusable and causes vision problems because of the smoke.
- It causes drowsiness.
- It increases the ability to pay attention.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: It makes one hand unusable and causes vision problems because of the smoke.
While holding a cigarette, you steer with just one hand, like the driver in the image, making it harder to maneuver. The smoke also irritates your eyes and makes it harder to see. Smoking does not improve your attention, because finding, lighting, and putting out the cigarette also distract you.
