Antonio Nunes, president of Portugal's food standards agency which is responsible for enforcing a new ban on smoking in public, was spotted smoking a cigar at a New Year’s Eve party, just as the law came into effect. Nunes was photographed by the daily Diario de Noticias smoking at a casino on the outskirts of Lisbon. He told the daily he was not aware the anti-smoking law, which applies to cafes, restaurants and bars, also included casinos. A spokesman for the Ministry of Health said it did. Smoking in enclosed public spaces carries a fine of 50 to 750 euros.
