Seeing none of you are smokers this should only be of passing interest.

Ahh, the memories! I have a scar on the inside of my arm because I was smoking while driving and the lit cherry flew off the cigarette! I instantly tucked my arm against my body ... and found the lit part. It was not pretty. I don't think "smoking" ever impaired my driving by trying to light cigs with the windows open certainly did!

A moment of silence on your behalf ...
