What are the penalties for smoking while driving?

[NathanLee]

Smoking while driving is considered a behavior that obstructs safe driving. It will result in a 2-point deduction from the driver's license and a fine. The hazards of smoking while driving include: 1. Distraction, which reduces driving safety; 2. Risk of carbon monoxide poisoning in enclosed spaces; 3. Exposure of passengers to secondhand smoke; 4. Negative impact on in-car air quality, as air filters can develop odors and breed bacteria. Methods to avoid smoking while driving: 1. Open the window when feeling drowsy to inhale fresh air, which provides sufficient oxygen to the brain and maintains clear judgment; 2. Lower the temperature appropriately, as cold environments help prevent drowsiness, and chewing mint gum or regular gum can help curb the urge to smoke.
