Anti-smoking head's awkward cigar

When Antonio Nunes had a smoke at a New Year party in Portugal, he appears to have been unaware he was defying a new ban his agency has to enforce.

The President of the Portuguese Food Standards Agency was pictured having a cigar at a casino on the outskirts of Lisbon, after the law came into effect.

Mr Nunes said he was unaware that the ban on smoking in bars, cafes and restaurants also applied to casinos.

"We will have to look into what is in the law," he told a newspaper.
