No, Keith, you can't always smoke where you want

KEITH RICHARDS has survived heroin addiction, brain surgery, a night in jail and assorted excesses during 44 years with the Rolling Stones.
At 62 he probably thought that his most scandalous days had passed. That was before unadulterated tobacco created a cloud of controversy around the guitarist.

Richards appeared to light and smoke a cigarette on stage during a Stones concert in Glasgow — an act unlikely to have got him into trouble since his schooldays but which is now illegal in Scotland.

It may have been a characteristic act of rebellion — or an understandable lapse of memory, given his age — but Richards seemed unaware of the ban on smoking in enclosed, public places, which was introduced in March.

Now Glasgow City Council is investigating the alleged incident, at the event at Hampden Park on Friday night. The venue had barred smoking three months before the Scotland-wide ban was introduced.
