Driving a 3000-6000 pound mass of metal and plastic, at 60-70 miles per hour... a speed so fast our brain has to be 'hypnotized' and re-render what the eyes see.... nearly 6 feet away from other vehicles doing the same speed, creating a potential engaging speed of 120mph, with no safety device whatsoever to keep one of them from suddenly veering right into the other, and yet we feed it necessary to busy one of our hands with a piece of paper and tobacco with one end at 450F+ and capable of setting the car on fire from a careless ash.

Humans are an interesting species.

Smoking is an "auto pilot" kind of thing. Even lighting one while driving is "auto". Changing the radio station is much more dangerous. I have yet to set myself, my car or any other car on fire with my butts.

That's more dangerous than smoking!
