No smoking for James Bond in Casino Royale

09-Dec-2005 • Casino Royale

James Bond is locked in a battle with a new enemy - cigarettes - reports Female First.

Film bosses have reportedly decided new 007 Daniel Craig can't smoke in 'Casino Royale' - because of the "need for Hollywood to set an example to young people"

The decision will stun fans of the original book, in which the dashing spy was a chain-smoker.

It isn't the first time producers have struggled to reconcile Ian Fleming's book and the upcoming film
Earlier this year director Martin Campbell admitted filming a nasty torture scene - where Bond has his manhood whacked with a carpet-beater - would be difficult.

He is quoted in Britain's Daily Star newspaper as saying: "I'm still not quite sure how I'm going to film that scene"
