Long before the smoking ban in workplaces and pubs came into being Mega City One enforced a strict ban on lighting up in public spaces, as can been seen in another newspaper strip from Wagner, Grant and Smith’s mid 80s Judge Dredd tales for the Daily Star, taken from a 1985 IPC collection I found on the back of my shelves back home (click for the larger version) and another example of how they introduced the rules of MC-1 to the new readership in a fast, condensed manner. Of course, back then who’d have thought Britain would have large scale smoking bans, let alone countries like Ireland and France?
