John King Comments:St Edmundsbury Council concoct the most pathetic reason for keeping licensing for plays: "Smoking is still permitted on stage where it is integral to the plot of a play, and this could present safety risks were plays to be de-regulated and there is no other mechanism in place for ensuring this objective."

How about an exemption for smoking that is incidental?
