It is just the
latest report to enforce a critical point that’s been made again and again
since the 40′s. Young people who start smoking may be influenced to do so by
movies they saw early in childhood. It doesn’t matter if it was Bette Davis or
any of today’s present stars, when an actor or actress lights up, it influences
kids. The latest study is from Dartmouth Medical School and it found that 80%
of the exposure to smoking scenes in movies came through films rated G, PG, and
PG-13. In this study, the researchers focused on more than 2,000 boys and girls
between the ages of 9 and 12.
