259. Fumar
Fumar mientras se conduce puede distraer al ocupar una mano, apartar la atención de la carretera y generar humo, ceniza u objetos que pueden caer dentro del vehículo. El humo del tabaco también reduce la calidad del aire y expone a los pasajeros al humo ajeno. Algunos países restringen o prohíben fumar en vehículos, especialmente cuando viajan niños. El conductor debe mantener siempre el control total y evitar cualquier actividad que interfiera con una conducción segura.
