In a recent related news story:

LOS ANGELES (AP): California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger lit a cigar during his trip to Canada this week, but did he break U.S. law?

The celebrity governor known for his love of premium cigars was in Ottawa on Wednesday on his way to the airport when his motorcade made a detour to a hotel. There, Schwarzenegger picked up a Cuban Partagas cigar in a shop, with the bill paid by an aide traveling with him, the Ottawa Citizen newspaper reported.

Seems Arnie is no dummie.
