The first thought we had when we saw this story today was “they’ll let actors smoke at workplaces for their roles – at least there’s a little common sense at work in Britain.”
But then we thought a little more, especially about the part that said “a Department of Health spokesman said….’We will be consulting with the theatre industry on what they consider integral to the plot’” and realized how insidious this has gotten – the British government will have to approve whether a movie or TV show character smokes?
It just gets worse and worse.
