The law of unintended consequences - Article 577 (Smoking Ban)

I spotted this corker in the Richmond Times last night,

Richmond College smoking ban criticised for sending puffing students into streets

You must read it, it is priceless, but my favourite two lines are,

Mr Rowles added: “The only solution as we see it is to lift the smoking ban in the college grounds.”

and,

Mr Ansell said he was keen to meet with residents and confirmed the smoking ban would be reviewed.

He said: “The college’s security manager has personally visited a number of residents to listen to their concerns and we will be reviewing our smoking policy.

An idiotic policy, that does nobody any favours.
