A friend alerted me to this bizarre clause in the smoking regulations.
2007 No. 765
PUBLIC HEALTH, ENGLAND
The Smoke-free (Exemptions and Vehicles) Regulations 2007
Made 7th March 2007
Coming into force 1st July 2007
The Secretary of State for Health, in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 3, 5 and 79(3) of the Health Act 2006[1] makes the following Regulations, a draft of which was laid before Parliament in accordance with section 79(4) of that Act and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament:—
PART 2
Exemptions
Performers
6. Where the artistic integrity of a performance makes it appropriate for a person who is taking part in that performance to smoke, the part of the premises in which that person performs is not smoke-free in relation to that person during his performance.
Although I am a non-smoker, I think this law is draconian, just an excericse in further undermining people's civil rights, and would love to see musicians standing up to its stupidity by smoking on stage.
So you can still do that on stage?
