Smokers on TV
How come you see people smoking on TV programmes? (i mean dramas and soaps etc). Surely they are smoking at a place of work when on set and therefore
committing an offence.

it sadly crossed my mind too darren, smoking at a soap home is a place of work. Not sure how they get away with it, maybe not in the public interest
to prosecute?

being sad i remeber reading last summer that they had to get a special license for dot in eastenders. It is anything you smoke so fake fags wouldnt
get arround it hence top gear got into trouble for the porka pipes even though they wernt burning tobacco

Funnily enough it was Dot that made me think of this.
I wonder if prisoners are made to go outside the prison grounds to smoke??

Yes, any place you're going to be staying a length of time is considered "home" the rule covers old-folks homes etc.

If you remember back to just after the smoking bad came into force, the top gear guys smoked. I then saw the same episode on dave a couple of weeks
back and the pipes had been pixelated 
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

As said earlier, TV co's have dispensation for artistic purposes, they can smoke as long as they are on camera!

Do the cameras have special filters and breathing apparatus? I wonder how long it will be before a camera operator sues for passive smoking at work?
It must be hell when filming Dot.
