Do as I say, not as I do

To borrow a line from Jeff Goldstein, because of the HYPOCRISY!
The head of the Portuguese agency responsible for enforcing a new ban on smoking in public was seen lighting up at a New Year party, breaking the law on the first day it came into effect.

Antonio Nunes, president of Portugal's food standards agency, was photographed by the daily Diario de Noticias smoking a cigar at a casino on the outskirts of Lisbon.
Now, he claims that he didn't know that the ban, which covers places like bars and restaurants, applied to casinos as well. That may be true, but if so, doesn't that sort of raise some questions about his competence?
