OPINION BY JUDGE CRAIG, December 15, 1983:

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Bureau of Traffic Safety (DOT) appeals from an order of the Dauphin County Court of Common Pleas reversing DOT's suspension of Joseph T. Mumma's drivers's license.

The question is whether the trial court erred in determining that Mumma's action in smoking a cigarette, despite several warnings not to do so, did not constitute a refusal to take the breathalyzer test.
