Nutty Authorities

I noticed on the BBC News site today that some states in Kenya have outlawed "smoking in public" - this includes outdoors!

Whilst I can understand why many people don't want their air polluted by cigarette smoke, it's getting to a crazy society where you can get a heavy fine, or even 6 months in jail, for having a smoke in the middle of the street, park, even a field on a farm

.

US airports seem to be going the same way- used to be smoking areas in the TGIFridays bar, or in (LAX) a special airside-outdoor area. Now these would appear to be getting stopped too.

As was said before, more late arrivals at the gate, more pax who board the plane in an irritable mood, and all the result of the dreaded Smoking Nazis.

Let's have a bit of common sense for a change (It'd be a breath of fresh air

)
