"SCOTLAND'S "smoking police" are investigating at least 28 reported breaches of the ban on lighting up in public places.
The Scottish Executive's national smoking ban compliance hotline received 87 calls up until midnight on Monday, 28 of which were to complain about alleged flouting of the new law.
While compliance appeared to be holding strong, councils continued to take a "softly-softly" approach to enforcing the ban.
No fines were issued in the first 48 hours of the ban, while only one council, Renfrewshire, has opted to issue warning letters to premises for non-compliance. "
Obviously, the media will not be happy until some poor sod gets done.
