Is it forbidden for the driver of a vehicle to smoke inside it?
Human factor: Physical factors
Explanation
Smoking inside the vehicle **is not prohibited**, but **it is advisable not to do so** for several reasons:
- **Distraction**: Smoking while driving can distract you. Searching for the cigarette and lighting it diverts your attention from the road, increasing the risk of accidents.
- **Use of one hand**: When smoking, one of your hands is occupied, which can make it difficult to control the vehicle.
- **Reduced visibility**: Cigarette smoke can affect your visibility of the road, which also increases the risk of accidents.
- **Air quality**: Smoking inside the car worsens the air quality, which can affect your ability to drive safely.
Although smoking is not prohibited, it is important to remember that drivers have the **obligation not to be distracted** to prevent accidents and protect all road users, including pedestrians and other drivers.
