Very interesting question and one I've often pondered on myself. Incidentally I am a smoker (not proud of it). In the news recently someone was fined for throwing a cigarette end out of the car window. Another incident someone was fined for flicking ash out of their window (yes, honestly). This means that drivers are now being forced to use their ash trays in the car which, as I'm sure even a non smoker knows, is well out of their line of sight.As a smoker I am very "torn". I wish to continue smoking whilst I'm driving (although I don't do it a lot). I do not condone littering and, to an extent, agree that cigarettes should not be thrown out of car windows (although I think not flicking ash out is taking it a bit far) yet I think it is potentially dangerous to try and stub a cigarette out in the ashtray whilst travelling at xxmph.
So there you go - the answer to your question is probably, yes. And that's from a smoker.

Why DO drivers speed excessively?

Personally i would bring in a law which says if you must smoke whilst out on the road, then pull over and stop to do so. If you need the nicotene stick to calm yourself, for example, then you are not in the best state for driving anyway. Drivers would be expected to pull over if they had to make a phonecall and do not have a hands free kit, so the same principle could apply to smoking.

Logically it should be banned b'cos apart from the ills of smoking known to everyone, smoking in cars can be a source of distraction( especially if u r lighting one while driving) & may lead to a crash.While many long time car smokers may scoff at the idea but its taking precautions which can avoid the inevitable.
Its like the good ol' saying ' Smoking in bed is dangerous. The ashes that fall could be your own!'
Why stop at smoking - I find changing gear, using the indicators, looking in the rear view mirror, winding down the window and checking the speedo all equally distracting - maybe we should ban these as well.
