Cigar nation faces smoking curbs

What's next? Will Scotland demand that all whiskey be blended, diluted or served on the rocks? But really, this move by Cuba doesn't surprise me - tightly controlling and regulating individual freedom is endemic in totalitarian societies. Just look at New York and California.

Cigar-producing Cuba says a ban on smoking in some public places will come into force in February.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
