No, that seems a little extreme. If go that far why not just remove smoking altogether in movies? It's not really needed for story lines anyway.

Maybe not the storyline itself, but it can add an important element to the character who is smoking. |

I think thats the point. Now, people making youth-oriented movies will be forced to drop the smoking in order to keep their movies PG-13 (and they probably would just do this, rather than make movies for kids that kids can't see). |

Yes. Now that I'm legally allowed to see any movie I want, I want people younger than me to suffer as much as possible.

Depends on the movie and what it's about. I don't think that if a movie just shows a person smoking a cigarette should be rated R and only allow adults watch it. Some kids and teenagers see people smoke around them so it's not like they would never see a person smoke again. |

it should be banned altogether, like res suggested. It is immoral and corrupt, all media which portrays such an action should be destroyed.

What's the point of not letting kids [or even teens, in the case of what wouldve been a PG-13 movie]see people in movies smoking, when they can see tons of random people still doing it in daily life? That just seems stupid to me.

Very F*cking retarded. If it becomes that way then drinking etc should become R rated as well. |

What kind of mental damage could ANYONE sustain from watching someone smoke a cigarette? The point of the rating systems is so that young, impressionable minds don't take vulgarity, sex and violence in the wrong light.

Exactly, like Constantine, Dazed & Confused, Sicko, Cheech & Chong, Herold & Kumar, and many others. |

That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard, I see people smoking everyday, I see advertizments for it at stores like White Hen Pantry, Cumberline Farms, and CVS every time I go in. If I ever would have wanted to consider lighting up, many people have offered it to me, I don't think that a movie would change my mind. |

Not by it self, obviously. However, I can see why they might want to include it as one of many factors.
