Let’s start with a few things from the net:

1. Video about celebs who smoke on and off screen: http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/scp_v3/...&ch=49799&src=

2. A site dedicated to stopping smoking in films: http://smokefreemovies.ucsf.edu/news/index.html

Ok, so what are your feelings on this? Do you think that characters smoking in films influence people smoking in real life? Do you think smoking is important for some characters, but gratuitous for others? What are the merits of characters smoking?

We’ve seen a few folks here already express anger and concern over this in some of the other threads (including the Nudity one) and It should serve for some good discussion…or shouting matches.

P.S. I apologize for this thread, but you know it had to be done.
