SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -- Former NBA great Michael Jordan has broken a San Francisco ban on smoking on public golf courses, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

The incident occurred Tuesday while the NBA Hall of Famer, an honorary assistant captain for Fred Couples for the United States at the Presidents Cup event at San Francisco, was playing a practice round at Harding Park.

The newspaper put out a full-page, full-color ad Wednesday showing Jordan enjoying a cigar while hitting a tee shot at the 14th hole.

"Well, that depends," Jordan told PGA.com when asked if he would smoke during the tournament. This is a public place ... I'm not even supposed to be smoking, but this was a practice round and no one said anything. I would say (it's) a three-cigar round."

Normally, there is a $100 fine for violators.

Yes, this no smoking B.S. OUTSIDE is ridiculous. I don't smoke and I think they've gone way too far. Don't worry though, celebrity status will get the big man out of trouble. Now us regular folk, we'd already have fine in hand.
