Does this make Kingdom Law a matter of details that should not be bothered
with?  If public smoking is prohibited, then it is prohibited.  None should
have to pretend a cigarette is a barely-period pipe anymore than I should
have to pretend that a microphone is a magic device to make court audible
in the rear (If we're going to let in mundane things into main public areas,
let's at least have useful ones!  :-)).  Really, I think we should either
start publicising and enforcing the Law or remove the Law from the books
at Curia.
