Of course its wrong. Whats a movie without chain smoking? LOL
Instead of banning the "Smoking Scenes", why not ban the "Mature" scenes?
Kids are smart enough to know that the dude in the movie is smoking. And, it wont help against teenage smoking if thats their purpose. =D

People around the world has started understanding that Smoking is a bad habit and it causes damage to the health. The habit has to be eliminated from the society. For this we need not ban smoking scenes from the movies. Because you can not deny the history. People must know that there was a habit called smoking and it was bad in all respect.

I hate smoking. But I hate censorship more.
Real people smoke, and it annoys other people.
Real people curse, and it annoys other people.
But I don't consider any language as "foul" or "dirty"
Its an expression of an emotion.
I hate when a Chinese kung fu movie is translated into English
and a guy gets kicked in the neck by a guy with knives between his toes, and he falls off of a building and then gets hit by a
dump truck and starts moving his mouth and screaming for like 40 seconds and giving the other guy the bird...
and all the captions say is "oh crap that hurt!"
Real people (over the age of 5) don't run around calling
each other "poopie head" so when I see it in an edited
movie I get pissed.
As much as I hate it, real people smoke.
They should be allowed to look real in a movie.
Popeye ate spinach too... I don't see THAT MANY kids eating it
Just because he did.

Wrong of course. When we get to see so many horrible and disgusting things on screen, why should smoking be banned? It's something millions of people do after all and seeing it doesn't really offend anyone.

What anybody is making an attempt to make ethical regulations is that at present time while the fee for each little thing is skyrocketing that stay at homestead mom and dad are uncommon. Who publications the infants however the television set. mom and dad are too busy offering for their infants that taking an brisk component to who, what and the place. as a result the smoking bans and ban of alcohol commercials on television. young infants will have faith their mom and dad even with the undeniable fact that interior the absence of an in contact make certain the infants will have faith friends and fall for the peer pressures of medicine, ingesting & alcohol. The uninvolved mom and dad blame television while truthfully why exchange into the toddler staring at television lots? the easy answer is: mom and dad have been too busy residing their very own lives to agonize with regard to the toddler at homestead staring at television.

Smoking scennes in movies shouldn't be banned, because what difference does it make. You see people in everyday life outside shopping centres, pubs, cafes, train stations, you name it. How would banning it on screen affect us?

i think it's wrong , everyone have power to make their own decision to smoke or not smoke from what they see,(if they think ppl 'll smoke cos they see smoking scenes what about killing scenes, drug dealing scenes etc....) they have right to see it and then it just their personal thinking and decision, and if you think children will copy it so just rate the movies , classify the movies in the age range that can see them

i believe it is a good thing.... i read somewhere about a survey conducted in the US some years ago... a majority of teen smokers started smoking because they wanted to be 'cool'like the Marlboro man..... now maybe kids will want to start smoking so that they can be 'cool' like brad pitt or tom cruise or someone else.... so i think its a good idea to ban smoking in films

I think its right, cos if an actor doesn't smoke and they want the character to smoke then its not fair on them
