In the olden-days they used to smoke on screen, and a lot of people (including my grandparents) started smoking as it was "glamorised" by the movie stars.

Nowadays, with cancer, heart disease, and strokes attributed to smoking, do you think it would be a good idea to outlaw smoking in movies?

I have to agree HELL NO. If you are one of those people who do something just cause a movie star does it then you need a life really

Yup ban public smoking everywhere. You have every right to smoke, you do not have the right to force me to.

We have that now, and as a non smoker, it aint all great.

If you have family/friends that smoke it sucks to sit by yourself while they all have to go outside in the wind and rain to smoke. Fun fun fun...

I think he means banning actors from smoking in the actual film, not people in a movie theatre.

Then I change my plea to nope, if you ar esuch a follower as to do what you see on the TV or the movies, then you have my blessing t oinhale as deep, and hold it as long as you possibly can.

Yeah, I mean in the movies.

There was a story recently, can't remember what paper it was in, but they brought it up, wondered what you guys think.

Personally, if you're stupid enough to watch a movie and think "Hey, that smoking lark looks pretty damn cool! I'll risk all my health just so I can be as cool as them" then you're an idiot.

I started smoking a little over a year ago, basically 'cause I enjoyed a cigarette when I was drinking, and in the morning I would wake up with smokes and think "What the hell, I'll have one."

I'm not a conformist, I don't do things just to fit in, but if you are in that camp then hell mend ya.

That's better... for a minute there I thought we were witnessing a dramatic turnaround in the way in which lowing views the world!

If sheep are gonna fuck themselves up because of what they see in the movies or on TV then fuck 'em... natural selection ftw.

Exactly. It's your problem if you smoke just 'cause it looks cool.

Nope, if they banned smoking, but say left in a guy getting his head blown off, then that's ridiculous.

People should be allowed to smoke if they want, I haven't got a problem with it (as long as they don't purposefully blow it up ma nostrils ). Banning it from media is just pandering more to the people who keep trying to decrease the amount of things we can do in our lives

If your retarded enough to smoke because you think it looks cool in the movies then that's your problem.

In regards to the spirit of this thread, no.

In the fact I think smoking at all should be banned, then yes.

No, they shouldn't ban smoking from movies, but they should ban it from public places like outside of stores/restuarants. I was so glad when they banned smoking from inside public buildings in New York, I can actually go bowling now and not feel sick leaving.

If you smoke it's automatically at least a PG movie.

That should make it an 18 over here, that's the legal age for smoking.

If they don't ban it then they should only include it in 18 rated movies.

Smoking should be banned in people's own homes?

Good job, China, go there.

If they ban smoking outside, then how would that apply to combustion engines?

No they shouldn't and thankfully the smoking ban here in bars is going to be repealed.

Yes, the same as say.. cocaine is banned or child porn. They're all about as useful to society as each other.

Err... I forgot to add that they should smoke at least 20 feet away from the building. I hate walking in through the front doors of the mall or something and there's people standing right next to the door smoking. It's someones choice to smoke, but they should have some courtesy not to smoke right at the door.
