Level headed anti-smokers reach another mutually beneficial compromise with their smoking counterparts:

"A STUNNED Italian actor had to stub out the cigarette he had lit up on stage after a spectator complained, forcing the theatre to change the script of an Arthur Miller play to make it smoke-free.

"This had never happened to me in more than 300 performances," the actor, Sebastiano Lo Monaco, said.

Italy has banned lighting up in all enclosed public places since January this year.

Lo Monaco was smoking, in line with the script, while playing the main character in Miller's A View from the Bridge at a theatre in the northeastern city of Mestre, when a woman from the audience shouted "Put out that cigarette".

After a 15-minute suspension, the performance resumed with a modified script and a non-smoking protagonist. "

The causal effect of smoke in an enclosed room filled with smokers is non-determinant enough that traditional statistical levels used to determine probable causation had to be.....well....let's face it...the standards were lowered until the level was finally reached where causation was "proved".

Now one guy is on stage and lights up a cigarette at the point in the show where the script calls for the actor to light up a cigarette and this moonbat goes nuts. She doesn't get up and leave. She wants the show stopped and for it to be re-started only when it is cigarette free.

Now what is more ridiculous? The fact that this is what she demanded?

Or the fact that she was accomodated?
