Please explain your rationale for such an inane comment.
“If violence in films doesn’t promote violence, why did they ban smoking in movies?”
Audiences won’t pay to see people smoke..smoking bad, so it disappeared in the movies.
Audiences WILL pay to see “John Wick” shoot up the town. So the producers turn a blind eye to the violence, as long as the money keeps coming in.
By the time a child enters high school the child has witnessed thousands of murders on TV and or the movies. They are desensitized to the violence.

Yes or no answers only...
Does commercial advertising work? If not, then why do it.
Does cigarette smoking in films promote cigarette smoking? If not, why ban it?
Does “product placement” in films work? If not, why pay to have your product placed in them
Does violence in films promote violence?
It is a fair question.
If your answer is no, then it is on you to defend your position as well.
Really? You don’t see any correlation?
