Probe into couple smoking at home

A council has confirmed it is investigating a complaint from a neighbour about a couple smoking in their own home.

A woman, who has not been named, has written to the council saying cigarette smoke from next door was "permeating into her living room".

Gwynedd Council's public protection service has said it has a duty to investigate.

Gavin Gordon-Crawley, the subject of the complaint, called it "a joke".

Mr Gordon-Crawley, 51, who smokes 20 cigarettes a day and whose wife is a social smoker, said: "I can understand smoking bans in certain places - even a total public smoking ban.

"But being told I can't smoke in my own home. It must be some sort of joke."
