An artistic drag

Mark Devenport | 17:54 UK time, Thursday, 31 May 2007

You can't smoke in any public place in Northern Ireland, correct? Well that's the case until next week when the Assembly will consider a Health Bill which contains an unusual exemption to the ban. This will apparently allow actors to take a drag when on stage if smoking is essential to the artistic integrity of their performance.

Any hacks hanging out in the Stormont Press Bar who insist they need nicotine to get over writer's block are unlikely to be covered by the artistic integrity argument.
