I was watching some old episodes of NewsRadio with Phil Hartman and noticed how much smoking was going on...even a high school girl in one episode...very casual.

But the campaign to stop smoking on television and movies had been fairly successful...the thinking being, if kids don't see it on the screen, they're less likely to copy the behavior.

But isn't it amazing how the libs, even when a killer publicly declares himself to be a hollywood movie character as he kills innocent victims, can't seem to make the obvious connection, but instead, dust off the old reliable NRA straw boogey man.

If seeing people smoke on the big screen cause kids to start smoking, then if one were being consistent, wouldn't hollywood violence lead to real life violence? Jusaskin'

Two very good points!

Actually it was one point but so good it seemed like two!
