Whether caught by surveillance cameras or traffic police, penalties will be imposed. Of course, the penalty method will be determined based on the circumstances. China's traffic safety laws clearly stipulate that any behavior that hinders safe driving should be penalized by traffic police authorities.

Sometimes, one might check if there is ash on the cigarette and then shake it off by the window, which can to some extent hinder safe driving.
