The Studios Have Been Taken Over By

There Are No Crowds Out There Demanding To See Smoking Scenes In Movies.

Anyone I Think Who - That Would Go Through A Cancer Ward And Would See The Result Of What Smoking Does, Would Never, Ever Think Of Smoking Is Sexy Again.

I'm Not Suggesting At All That We Take Away All Of The Characters' Vices. I Am Suggesting That This Particular Vice Is So Insidious, So Nefarious, And So Deadly That Simply By Glamorizing It Or Poisoning Our Young Adults, And I Think It's A Very Separate Category, But In No Way Am I Suggesting That We Move On From Banning Smoking In Movies To Banning Drinking, You Know, Or Whatever Else We Want To Do.

I Was Surprised By How Warm The Response Was, Even Among Studio Heads, Who Said They Really, We Do Have To Do Something About Glamourization Of Smoking.

The Studios Have Been Taken Over By Marketing People And Accountants.
