JAMES BOND IS locked in a battle with a new enemy - cigarettes.
Film bosses have reportedly decided new 007 Daniel Craig can't smoke in Casino Royale - because of the "need for Hollywood to set an example to young people".
The decision will stun fans of the original book, in which the dashing spy was a chain-smoker.
It isn't the first time producers have struggled to reconcile Ian Fleming's book and the upcoming film.
Earlier this year director Martin Campbell admitted filming a nasty torture scene - where Bond has his manhood whacked with a carpet-beater - would be difficult.
The scene sees 007's enemy, Le Chiffre, 'tenderise' the hero's private parts with a cane carpet-beater.
The episode is one of the most well-known moments in the spy thriller.
However Campbell said filming the scene - which is supposed to see Bond arch in an 'involuntary spasm' as the 'baddie' tortures him - would be a challenge.
He is quoted in Britain's Daily Star newspaper as saying: "I'm still not quite sure how I'm going to film that scene".
