  • Miscellaneous information
              •  "Why Lipman has got them fuming. She's unlikely to please the anti-smoking health lobby but actress Maureen Lipman has bizarrely suggested that the problems of Britain's youth binge drinking culture could be solved by encouraging youngsters to smoke instead. While the rest of the country is trying to curb smoking, Maureen claims it's a lesser evil than alcohol and should become acceptable in public again. She is particularly concerned, she says, by the way young women are now becoming drunkenly boorish in a manner that used to be confined to men. 'We fought for equal rights but we have just inherited the worst traits of men,' says Maureen, 62. 'This is a bad thing. Girls go out drinking and wearing virtually nothing. They are like highly coloured insects looking not just for a drink but a good seeing-to. I think we should let them smoke. It was very calming to smoke. There was the whole ritual with the little Zippo lighter. I know it's the worst thing to say these days but you can go out and drink yourself stupid and kill someone in your car or beat up your wife but you are not allowed to smoke' ", Daily Express (UK), Apr. 1, '09
