After lighting up pipes, live on TV, in an enclosed public area.

I wonder if anyone in the studio actually complained? I actually quite like the smell of pipe tobacco!

"There were no complaints from members of the audience present during the filming," she added.

I love it. I've decided I'm going to smoke a pipe when Im older and point at things with it just like May did

My parents thought it was a rubbish idea :/

Red and White · 16 Oct 2007 at 14:24

some people will moan about out these days

ALLI · 16 Oct 2007 at 14:24

Yeah, she would say that wouldn't she?

That's why I said, I wonder if anyone "ACTUALLY" complained.

Doesn't matter if anyone in the audience complained or not, it's still against the law.

So is breaking the speed limit in numerous countries. No-one seems to mind that though do they?

(Not being argy bargy with you, but it's strange how people interpret laws)

This is why we shouldn't have had the smoking ban.

Dolph · 16 Oct 2007 at 14:27

What a bunch of whinging gits...

Exactly what it was, what they where doing in the show was a joke/entertainment piece using smoking.

This Action on Smoking and Health group just seem to be trying to get attention.

It wasn't tobacco, it was some herbal stuff... So it can't be against the law.
