Disney has taken the step forward to become the first movie studio to ban all smoking in films. Disney studio heads have said that from now on no one will be seen smoking a cigarette, cigar, joint or pipe in any and all of their films. They are also trying to encourage others at Miramax and Touchstone to follow suit. Hollywood has been blamed for teenager smoking after a study was done that showed that children with high exposure to smoking in movies have a higher chance of becoming smokers. I suppose it’s better late than never as far as these types of things are concerned. Smoking has been a number one killer for decades now. It’s when Hollywood is full of cocaine and drunk driving that they take a stand against smoking. It looks like they have more things to take a stand against. If anyone was going to make a change it might as well be Disney. After all, I can’t recall their classic cartoons without any smoking. They were one of the worst for cartoon characters puffing away. Hopefully other studios will make the change as well.
