Which of the following effects can be caused by smoking while driving?
Human factor: Physical factors
Explanation
Smoking while driving can cause **distractions and vision problems** due to cigarette smoke. Here we explain why:
- **Distractions**: When smoking, the driver may become distracted by searching for and lighting the cigarette, which diverts their attention from the road. Additionally, one hand is occupied holding the cigarette, which limits the ability to maneuver the vehicle properly.
- **Vision problems**: Cigarette smoke can impair visibility inside the vehicle, making it harder for the driver to see the road. This can be dangerous, especially in situations where a clear and quick view of the surroundings is required.
- **Air quality**: The smoke also deteriorates the air quality inside the car, which can affect the driver's ability to concentrate and react appropriately.
For these reasons, smoking while driving increases the risk of accidents, as the driver is not fully focused on the task of driving and their vision may be compromised.
