N Korea 'bans smoking for leader' http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6913353.stm
[Unconfirmed reports say Kim Jong-il recently had a heart operation]
The North Korean capital, Pyongyang, has reportedly become the latest city to impose a smoking ban.
However, rather than being for the good of the general public, it is all about the country's leader Kim Jong-il.
The move comes after doctors advised Mr Kim to stop smoking and drinking after a recent heart operation, reports say. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6913353.stm
