Close, But No Cigars for Churchill

Smoking bans are in the news everywhere, even in Scotland. According to the Times Online, an actor playing Winston Churchill cannot even smoke a cigar on stage, due to an indoor smoking ban. The actor may have to use a prop made of plastic, in lieu of a real cigar. Sounds ridiculous to us, but at the rate smoking bans are being adopted everywhere, and becoming more restrictive, it will not be too much longer before all of us are smoking electronic cigarettes imported from China.
