"(Broadcasting & Cable) _ The Motion Picture Association of America http://www.mpaa.org/ said Thursday that smoking in a movie may earn a tougher rating, even if it is by a consenting adult.
Illegal teen smoking had been a factor in movie ratings in the past, said the Motion Picture Association of America, but now "all smoking" will be considered and "depictions that glamorize smoking or movies that feature pervasive smoking outside of an historic or other mitigating context may receive a higher rating."
That came only hours after a TV producer had been asked whether film producers should be able to insert smoking scenes into films to compensate for the fact that they could not advertise on TV."
so, do you think this means that the studios will start labeling their old movies as "pre-smoking" titles?!?!? should be interesting to watch -
