NTAYOMBYA: To ignore or not to ignore, that, my friends, is the question 

But thrashing the Governors amusing directive isn’t the point of this piece. How many people have heard about the anti- public smoking directive?

I can bet that many people have heard that it was enacted. But here is the million dollar question, “who has actually heeded it”? I have the answer, NOBODY.

If you are like me, a frequent night owl, you’ll notice that there is always a hint of tobacco smoke wafting about. This is whether you’re in a bar, restaurant or nightclub.

I remember an incident a month that got a relative of mine quite hot under the collar. We’d gone to the Sole Luna restaurant to have some pizza, when to my companions chagrin we were soon enveloped by a cloud of smoke from the neighbouring table.

I find a law that is unenforceable rather painful.
