Smoking Disclaimers

A whole bunch of US Legal Reps want to add disclaimers to all movies that depicts characters who smoke. Uhh, what? Last time I checked, no one reads disclaimers. Especially kids. If I were one of these lawyers, I would focus more on the cigarette ads in magazines and billboards.

Released on 7 November, the study found that 38% of the 6,500 young people polled tried smoking after seeing characters smoke on screen.

Kids will smoke no matter what. They understand that it's wrong, and it's a way to be a rebel. You have to convince them it's not cool, or nothing will change.
