Troubled rocker Pete Doherty will escape a fine, despite breaking anti-smoking laws by lighting a cigarette during a performance in Scotland. The Babyshamles frontman broke laws banning smoking in public places at the Ironworks venue in Inverness. But authorities have issued him a warning instead of a £50 (€74.31) fine – angering anti-smoking campaigners who insist he has been spared because he is a celebrity. Politician Stewart Maxwell said: "If taxi drivers can be fined for smoking, then the idea that celebrities can get away with it is outrageous."

Seriously why are they so afraid of him giving him jail time or fining him?
