hell no. do they turn off the racing engines during a nascar race to fuel up?

No because I'm not an idiot that smokes cigarettes at a gas pump and I don't like wasting time turning the engine off and back on.

Depends on where I'm getting fuel.

I do. There is only downsides to keep it running. There's a slightly higher risk of fire, you're burning fuel for no reason, and you're generating more noise.

Nope....if fact, I hit a couple revs so everyone can hear what a V12 Italian symphony sounds like.

A cigarette will not ignite gasoline.

Depends on the weather but most of the time I don’t

So how does smoking impact the engine running or not?

There is zero reason to cut the engine off. People are just dumb

Never, been driving 30 years.
