While I agree that youth shouldn’t be smoking and we should discourage use- these are the first steps into censorship. We live in a real world with smokers on every street corner, we can’t put a blindfold on our children and then release them into a world they aren’t preparedpic.twitter.com/HpwEYZpkFP
the reach of #tobacco imagery in streaming and other media platforms is essential to deglamorize the use of tobacco products that can hook & harm our youth. Learn more via @CDCMMWR https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/68/wr/mm6843a4.htm?s_cid=mm6843a4_w …pic.twitter.com/eEjSTTDO3Y

for. When you’re watching media with smoking in it, take this as an opportunity to talk to your child about the harms and risks of smoking, helping your child make an educated decision is imperative, rather than the hear-speak-see no evil approach.

I thought it was the fruity flavors that initiated nicotine use among youth. Now it’s the movies? This can’t be true since teens only want fruity and dessert flavors.

Well that’s it ban movies! Don’t let youth outside because you never know what they might see. Does Superhero movies make them think they have super powers? Was it the flavored movies that hooked them to smoking? What ever happened to parents being parents?

We got rid of the Hays Code decades ago. This smacks of censorship. You can't ban art and culture unless you want to live in a dictatorship. You are falling right down the "what about the children" rabbit hole. You want to protect children, protect the Constitution.

I guess we need to ban candy at the movies because of course that's where it starts.

Get back to us when you quit parroting Tobacco control lies. If this were true smoking an amongst teens would be increasing. Instead it's at historic lows.
