In Wisconsin, there are currently no specific laws that make it illegal to vape while driving. However, general laws regarding distracted driving and substance use apply. Here are the key points to consider:
General Laws
- Distracted Driving: Wisconsin law prohibits any activity that distracts a driver from safely operating a vehicle. This includes using electronic devices, which could extend to vaping if it impairs your ability to drive safely.
- Substance Use: If the vape contains substances that impair your ability to drive (such as THC), you could be charged with driving under the influence (DUI) if you are found to be impaired while driving.
Safety Considerations
- Impairment: While vaping nicotine is not illegal, if it leads to distraction or impairment, it could result in legal consequences. It is essential for drivers to remain focused on the road and avoid any activities that could compromise their attention.
In summary, while vaping itself is not illegal while driving in Wisconsin, drivers should be cautious of how it may affect their focus and overall driving ability.
