I think it would be notable publicity/endorsement!

From Yahoo news:

By DOUG FERGUSON, AP Golf Writer Doug Ferguson, Ap Golf Writer – Wed Oct 7, 7:18 pm ET


SAN FRANCISCO – Michael Jordan spends most of his time on the golf course these days, just not like this.


He's not playing.


And he can't smoke his cigar.


U.S. captain Fred Couples invited Jordan to be an honorary assistant captain at the Presidents Cup, and the NBA icon even teed it up during a practice round Monday at Harding Park before the week officially got under way.


But when city officials saw a picture of Jordan in the San Francisco Chronicle toking on his stogie, they were quick to remind the PGA Tour that Harding Park is a city property and smoking is not allowed.


"You mean about Spare the Air Jordan?" Recreation and Park general manager Phil Ginsburg told the newspaper. "I've already sent off an e-mail to the PGA Tour director. It was sort of a gentle nudge reminding them that smoking is illegal, and that we would appreciate their support."

No, I don't want to send him an e cigar. I am hoping he continues to violate the ban. I'm sure a round of $100 fines is not going to hurt him, and his actions shows the utter insanity of a smoking ban on a golf course.
