Idiots not content with people not smoking, want to make it harder for people (kids) to even see people smoking in movies.
“A lot of kids are going to start smoking because of this movie,” said Stanton Glantz, director of the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education at the University of California-San Francisco. Youths who frequently see smoking onscreen are two to three times more likely to begin smoking than peers who rarely see it depicted, he said.
Thank you, from the bureau of stuff we just pulled out of our arse. Also, if you think this argument against smoking in movies is too stupid, be careful about making even dumber ideas. Try this on for size, Portland:
The Portland City Council approved a proposal Wednesday to make all city offices fragrance-free.

The policy is designed to protect employees with health issues, such as asthma.

This means all workers will be asked to not wear cologne, perfume, aftershave or other scented products like hair sprays and lotion.

Employees can now face disciplinary action for wearing too much scent.
Not any dumber than the smoke-ban in bars.
