Can passengers get points for vaping?

The story highlights that drivers can be penalised if vapour blocks their vision. However, the law against careless driving applies to anyone whose actions contribute to unsafe conditions. If a passenger's vaping causes the obstruction, they could potentially face charges, though it's usually the driver's ultimate responsibility.
