Charlie Sheen Told to Butt Out

From Globe and Mail

“It’s very important for his own health,” Ms. Best told reporters at the provincial legislature on Thursday. “He can give me a call. I will certainly direct him [on] how to get the help that he needs.”

She acknowledged that she has never met Mr. Sheen. But she has been following the headlines about the troubled actor’s substance abuse and hard-partying lifestyle. As the province’s Health Promotion Minister, she said, it is her job to urge all smokers to quit and she believes that Mr. Sheen clearly is someone who has “issues.”

Ms. Best said she assumes that he is addicted to smoking cigarettes, but quickly added that having never personally met the man, “I can’t make a diagnosis on the spot.”

Seriously the Ontario government is trying to remind Charlie Sheen not to break the provinces antismoking laws you’ve got to be kidding me. The only thing I can predict with some certainty is Charlie Sheen will still be ” winning” 175 days from now I can’t say the same for the Ontario Liberals.
