I'm opposed to the ban on smoking in New York and its coming here. However, I'm not sure I can agree with the Daily Telegraph when it says that banning smoking at the UN's headquarters will "put the future of international relations, already strained enough, into intolerable jeopardy".
The UN imposed a partial ban on smoking at its HQ in 1995, which has not been that successful. I presume the full ban will be just as successful.
However, this issue did get me wondering if the various embassies in Dublin and the consular offices around the country will be exempt from the Irish smoking ban.
