Disney Movie Studios Ban Smoking From All Films

Jul 26, 2007 AT 07:53 am

It's not gossip. But it's good news and a step in the right direction. Disney Studios have officially banned smoking from their films. All family oriented films will no longer contain characters who smoke. They are also encouraging Touchstone and Miramax to do the same.

I think its great. Why smoke to begin with and allow something to have such control over your daily life? In most cases, the characters do not *need* to be smoking anyway. Its unnecessary, disgusting, and deadly. Parents can teach it at home, but its great to see it reinforced elsewhere.

I am 32 and i am not some narrow minded person who only sees smoking as the worsed think in the world,it is bad but is not the one and only bad thing,40% of the CO2 in the air comes from cars,planes and so on,sun without a protection and time limits is very dangerous and skin cancer rates are higher than lung cancer,don;t get me started with the junk food and the heart problems,diabetes and all the rest...so what was immature about my comment,please refresh me?! Rude,ya maybe but not less than the ones talking rude about people who smoke right!? It goes both ways you know...
My only point was that there are so many other bad things but seems that folks only concentrate on the smoking.

They can ban smoking in the movies all they want, but it makes little sense since most of the young Hollyweird crowd are repeatedly shown puffing away.
