I think it's a bit incomplete to solely talk about cigarette use in film, when the real impact of such imagery is also contributed by TV, and ads.

Thread topic: "
Smoking in film"
For one, ads have a very specific purpose, and although a successful ad should be entertaining or catchy, among other things, that purpose doesn't change... they are meant to be influencial. TV is extremely similar to film in this area, but likely more influencial IMO. Multiple epsides and seasons, allow additional time for viewers to develope stronger emotional ties to characters. Given the differenecs, I would feel it more appropriate to use them in comparison to film.
