Law 174 does not apply to actors

You know about Law 174? The one that fobids smoking in closed places? Apparently movie studios and filming sets are not including in the list of such places. Just look at Bassem Yakhour (thanks Nada!) enjoying a cigar while Youssef el Khal (unconvincingly) sports a pipe. But then, this is Lebanon where exception - not just proves the rule - but IS the rule!

Just a tiny comment: this is Syrian actor Bassem Yakhour, not Majdi Machmouchi.
Great blog Mr. Tarek. I've never seen ads so deeply analysed.
