I don't have anything against cigarette's. Tobacco companies are clearly evil, but hey! (i don't know)
With this mentality there would be a lot of older disney films given the r-rating (Alice in Wonderland comes to mind - while no cigarette's are shown, per se, the caterpillar smokes up a storm).
I just think it's a drastic and ultimately unnecessary step in stopping North America's youth from smoking. I mean, a lot of these kids have loved ones who live in their house who smoke, so... i don't think this will have as much of an affect as they say it will.
Just out of curiosity, do they have similar laws for illegal narcotics like cocaine, ecstacy, marijuana, etc? I could swear i've seen some PG-13 flicks with people using cocaine recreationally. Then again maybe not...

You'll all have better insights than I. Discuss

it's been 5 months since my last cigarette, and one thing that makes you want to smoke is seeing it in fims, especially in B&W films, it just makes the smoke look so silky and smooth, the way it rolls through the air and . . . wait where was I?

Remember how Lois Lane smoked in the first Superman movie? That would never happen these days.

As an on-again/off-again smoker, I have no objections to smoking, or the placement of tobacco in movies. There, I added my opinion.
