R-ratings on movies that have Smoking?

[MtnBiker]

Total bull shit.

I think its bad enough that people in NY aren't allowed to exercise their right to smoke in a public facility.

Like a library?

Aww come on people. Smoking is bad but an R rating for smoking? ive seen things in PG movies that are worse than smoking.

We're becoming a nanny state right before my eyes.

YEP!!

Around here there is no smoking in a public building, not even bars (which I think is completely mad).

Now I don't smoke and never have and while I will say it is nicer to go out and not come home smelling like an ashtray, this is looking more and more like big brother is incharge.

What about that sickening movie, slamcock mountain? That should have been rated X!

Becareful what you say about Brokedick Mountain, that's Obama's favorite movie.

Im glad this has gone through. Senator Ensign from my state is the one who put leverage on the MPAA to make this happen. Cudos to all involved.

We have passed a simular law here where people can not smoke in any establishment the serves or sells food and where children go. Business has never been better for these places. Noone wants to smell other people's bad habits. My grandma died from Cancer due to second hand smoke and it's rude and inconsiderate to subject your filty habit to other people.

Well, it's not that bad here yet. There is one resteraunt that I like to go to, really good food. It went non-smoking, but went one step further. No cell phones. That is just as annoying as smoking. I smoke so I really don't notice, but asked my son who is a fanatic about smoking if you sit in a non-smoking section, does it really make a difference........guess you can still smell it according to him.

I guess if the big C hasn't got you yet, it never will... congrats on quitting. Is it true what they say about food tasting better?

I personally have not seen a difference.

I was just watching a trailer for Shrek 3.

A guy is climbing out of a carriage with smoke billowing out of it. He turns to the guy behind him and says "hey man, don't smoke all my frankenses and murr".

Now the kids hopefully won't catch this double meaning, the adults are going to see what........................that's right pot.

How is this any better than smoking on screen?????????????????????
