Hurrah for Bhutan!

Bhutan is the first country in the world to ban the sale of tobacco. (I was about to write smoking, but apparently there is a lot of cannabis there.) Anyway it’s a splendid achievement for this small, remote, Himalayan country.

Could we do the same thing in Scotland? I mean start banning smoking on small, remote, scenic islands in order to get publicity. If people in the States or Europe read that Colonsay or Rum have outlawed tobacco it would surely give a great fillip to local tourism.
