Scared of smoking
Kenny Gibson is the Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) that instigated work on a Regulation of Smoking Bill which eventually led, in 2006, to a smoking ban being implemented in Scotland.
But, not happy with his success, Gibson now wants to go further and is demanding that all films in which any of the characters smoke should have an 18 rating.
Despite taking on film-making giants, Mr Gibson was optimistic of eventual success.
He said: “Clearly most movies aren’t made in the UK, let alone Scotland, so on a global scale this could be marginal but I would hope it would send a signal which would be repeated elsewhere in the UK and further afield.”
Maybe Mr Gibson should stop being so silly and learn to accept victory gracefully.
