Now here's a delicious irony.
In 2011 singer-songwriter Annie Dressner recorded a song (her own composition, I'm guessing) entitled 'Cigarette'.
Delightfully it includes this refrain:
"And so I smoked a cigarette so I can taste you in my breath."
As I explained in my previous post Annie is currently campaigning to ban smoking in children's playgrounds.
According to an interview I've just done with her on BBC Radio Ulster she believes smokers should set a good example to children.
I assume she won't be playing 'Cigarette' to her own child any time soon.

Comes over from America and starts to lecture on on how we can behave in our own parks. I don't think so. She can shove off back to her nanny state asap !
Please don't give this hypocrite publicity for her crap music.
After taking a look at twitter yesterday, I see she is defended by someone who thinks smokers smoking outdoors should be routinely spat on.
I have a word for that sort.
You might also point out that if other people's smoking was so harmful to kids, then why ban it in pubs and save drunken adults first?
There is no harm. Anyone who believes that is simply smokerphobic.
