Its not a direct distraction like most other things you can get fined for but its still a hinderance if you need to do something in an emergency. I don't believe you can have 100% control if you're smoking even if smokers say otherwise (but they'll be biased anyway, and I don't mean that in a bad way).

But most people don't give a second thought if someone is smoking in the car for their safety. Whereas if someone is texting or calling I'd bet they'd be a bit worried. I don't think I've heard of smoking related crashes whereas with phones it was becoming a problem, as to why they banned it.
