Asking her to stop smoking before he continued with the stop (explaining the offense, the warning, giving follow up instructions, getting her signature and giving her a copy) was well within the scope of what he was allowed to do, just the same as if he had done any of the other things like tell her to keep her hands on the steering wheel, not put her hands in her pocket, etc.

It's wasn't an unnessecary delay, especially given she could have compiled in 2 seconds, and the stop was not competed yet.

I've done hundreds of traffic stops and every one held up to any challenge given in court. How many have you done?
