London
(ANI):
Guitarist
Keith
Richards
has
apparently
found
an
unusual
and
amusing
way
to
poke
fun
at
anti-tobacco
laws,
for
he
puffed
a
cotton
wool
cigarette
during
a
show
at
London"s
O2
Arena
recently.
The
Rolling
Stones
star
lit
up
in
defiance
of
the
smoking
ban,
but
later
told
fans
his
cigarette
was
full
of
cotton
wool.
The
63-year-old
star"s
action
prompted
Greenwich
Council
to
investigate
the
matter.
However,
Richards
escaped
the
clutches
of
law
after
the
investigators
failed
find
any
evidence
of
breach
of
the
smoking
ban.
“We
found
no
evidence
there
was
a
breach
of
the
smoking
ban.
He
made
clear
it
was
cotton
wool.
This
was
clearly
a
joke," The
Sun
quoted
a
council
spokesman,
as
saying.
