Warnie making news again . . .
NGO demands inquiry on Warne smoking
Saturday, 24 May , 2008, 00:52
Panaji: An anti tobacco NGO, National Organisation for Tobacco Eradication (NOTE) has demanded a BCCI inquiry on Rajasthan Royals’ skipper Shane Warne smoking on the ground during an IPL match.
NOTE has written to IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi that smoking in public places was a criminal offence and IPL was no exception to the rule. It even went to the extent of claiming that Warne's cigarette might have "dope" in it, considering his earlier "credentials".
"We apprehend that Warne's cigarette may have dope in it as such he is a fit case to be brought before the anti-doping squad. Going by his credentials, an instant inquiry of this nature is demanded," NOTE general secretary Dr Shekhar Salkar has said.
NOTE had earlier objected to Shah Rukh Khan smoking in a cricket stadium by issuing him notice. The organisation is also fighting a case against Amitabh Bachchan, after billboards showing the Big B smoking were displayed on a national highway.
"We demand that act of Warne should be promptly reported to ICC as well as appropriate authorities in Australia. He should be asked to apologise to Indian viewers and promise that there would be no public display of his disgusting vice," Salkar said.
The NGO also demanded that IPL should ensure that its players and officials present a morally justifiable image in future. "Let them know that those stubs in their hands would motivate youngsters in the wrong way producing pathological smokers and cancer patients in a country yearning for idols," Salkar added.
Gotta love the Indians . . .

Laws are laws, and Govt is serious about smoking at Public places. Though I am sure spectators smoking in might have been difficult to take action against and targeting celebrities gets instant news and fame and much easier to target as well.....

Yeah if it's not allowed, it's not allowed. There shouldn't be any concessions.
Re: Warnie making news again . . .
I find this rather difficult to apprehend.

Fine for them to have a go about the smoking if its illegal.
Find it laughable that there must have been dope in it, and he should be reported to the anti-doping unit! Thats amusing to say the least. Surely if I remember correctly, doesn't weed have quite a potent smell???

He probably smells alright - he's quite metrosexual so he'll be drenched in some posh aftershave.

In other words foul.
But the stuff doesn't smell quite as bad as it tastes, and I can abide the taste a hell of a lot better than being in the same room as 99% of the pretentious wankers who think the fact that they smoke it makes them God's gift to humanity.

It's quite subjective, Fredderick. Certainly, I wouldn't blanketly admonish 99% of non-smokers as sanctimonious, self-righteous cum-guzzlers who take some weird little moral umbrage about being 'healthy' and who love to harp on about the 'dangers of passive smoking' without a shred of evidence.
