I think it can, but I think parents and friends are more influential when it comes to smoking.

It is simply a FACT (I'm sure there's many many many studies which bear this out) that kids are influenced by mainstream media.

Again, you’re right that kids are affected by the media, but I’m not sure how much of that is smoking in films.
