Smoking and Movies

Well apparently we need more help in choosing what is appropriate for our children to see at the movies now. We are supposed to be swallowing this line of crap that we need censors to pre-screen films and then tag them with a new rating if they contain an actor smoking. I agree smoking is terrible for our health and our children's health, no argument here about that. But what about personal responsibly? What about the hypocrisy of it all? I mean beer an alcohol kill more teens than do cigarettes, right? And alcohol certainly impacts more families with children in this country and yet you don't hear calls to add more ratings to films that contain alcohol do you? Nor do you hear of the Super Bowl asking if it would be alright if they dropped their sponsorship agreement with the beer companies. Sounds like we live in a hypocritical society. Why not just sit our kids down and talk with them. How much good does a ratings system do anyway? I just want to go to movies more if I wasn't allowed to go. Why is talking to kids that much harder? And if they are going to smoke, they're going to smoke. Try to stop them, do everything in your power to stop them, but know it's an uphill fight.
