Unlike First Lady Laura Bush, Denmark's Queen Margrethe II will smoke cigarettes in public.
The 68-year-old great Dane puffed away after having dinner in Copenhagen.
Today, a U.S. government-funded study declared Denmark the happiest country in the world. Put ya lighters up!

4. Hey, now there's an old broad who can give a rats ass. Glass of wine, a cig, and she probably kicked some ass later in the day.
More power to her.

8. I don't understand what you mean by your first sentence. Does that mean that you think Laura Bush smokes in private? I haven't heard that. She doesn't seem like a smoker to me. I'd be surprised. Do you have some evidence to support that, or am I reading the wrong thing into your sentence?

13. Smoking is nasty. And Laura Bush doesn't smoke cigarettes in public or private.

15. "Laura Bush has been a heavy smoker for decades, and as First Lady, special accommodations have been made for her habit (including, as I once witnessed, Secret Service officers spraying an aerosolized deodorant mist around her, apparently to prevent people from suffering offense from the smell of cigarettes on her hair or clothes). Laura Bush has always been very careful to avoid being photographed with a cigarette. Although she claimed early in her husband's first term to have quit "long ago," she has been coy and sometimes contradictory about this when questioned later by interviewers. (Also, she has publicly spoken out against teen smoking—she says the best advice for quitting smoking is to never start in the first place.)"
