• Finance minister breaks smoking ban  

Despite being a fervent proponent of the smoking ban, the finance minister has recently come under fire for smoking in his office during meetings with staff, reports Politiken newspaper.

The Liberal party finance minister Lars L�kke Rasmussen has also been reported to the Working Environment Authority for breaching the smoking ban by Red-Green Alliance's Per Clausen.

Clausen said that he did not believe it was legal for Rasmussen to smoke in his office despite the law allowing smoking in one-person offices as meetings were often held in private offices.
