Perhaps (and again I know that this is crazy idea) if you took 5 minutes to look at the sources I posted you'd have a better understanding of this issue and the supporting data and research.
Just a thought, a crazy, crazy one I know. Hey, don't let me disturb your preconceived and totally false ideas.

Ha ha.... Oh don't worry.... I've read it all before.... I know all about it....
Oh and guess what? Now this might be a CRAZY notion..... But if you take the exact time it takes to read this and register it, that's all the time I require.... I don't need to ask for 5 mins.... unless I keep typing like this,
How many billions of dollars has Pepsi, Coke, Ford, and all the other bigs commercial sucesses in the world put money into for advertisement in movies? Just a few seconds to show their products and logos in a scene.... they're products we purchase and use in reality.... to make a realistic movie, wouldn't you add those similar things into a movie?
Since we all logically know the entire world isn't quite yet 100% smoke free, wouldn't it be logical to still have people smoking in movies?
Sorry, but this propaganda almost stinks of the crazy fanatic notions that were made in the early 1900's on weed..... only this is about Evil propaganada to kill our children
*GASP!!!*
Kids wanna see the mutant with the claws kick some arse, not smoke his cigar..... that's just part of his character.... it's always been a part of his character long before I was even born.
In Movies, Animation, Shows, when you gotta make a character, you have to build everything from scratch
(Unless you have a real life example) from all their good points to their bads..... all their vices and weaknesses, to their heroic attributes..... It's not very realistic when you have all the bad things taken away.... how do kids learn from that?
Why don't you slap a chastity clap on their wang chungs so they can't have fun tonight.... so they can't wang chung tonight? LIke they did way back when?
They don't know any better, children can't make logical decisions..... cripes... history repeats... and now my generation is sounding just like the 50's generation of protection.....
*shudders*
Is this some sort of side effect of 9/11 and paranoia or something?
The reports are most likely true..... To a Degree.... I seen plenty of "Fill in the Gaps" in those reports.... a lot of isolation of tobacco companies from other sponsors of the same target medium.
They had them on racers a couple of years ago.... just like Tide... Just like the US Army..... That's right! Sign up, get shipped out, get blown up, get shipped back.
That seems hazzardous to your health, one would think.
