The new No Smoking Law in Italy, heavily disputed and most certainly cleverly circumvented in many cases, has brought to life first grotesque outcomes: A housewife, obviously somewhat less in love than half a century ago, has reported her husband to the police for smoking in the living room without her consenting, something he will have done for decades. The police came, fined him with the regular 27 EURO (as there were no kids or pregnant ladies around), but was unable to cash the money from him as he did not have one cent in his pocket. Thus, in the end, the wife had to pay for him. In sports we use to say “she shot herself in the foot”.
