I Think The Main Issue Is That

The-one Of The Odd Things That's Going On With Smoking These Days Is That In The '90s, Smoking At Movies In The '90s, There Were More Movies Showing Smoking Than There Were In The '60s.

Now The Cigarette Companies Claim That They Don't Do That [ Pay To Have Their Product Advertised In Movies ] Anymore, Although It Certainly Makes You Wonder A Bit When An Independent Production Like "in The Bedroom", You Know, Seems To Focus Constantly On Marlboros And Almost It Turns Into A Marlboro Ad, Whether There Was Any Money Exchanged.

Assuming That All Bad Girls Smoke. I Don't Think So. I've Been Around A Lot Of Bad Girls Who Don't Smoke, You Know, So I Think It's Easy To Put A Cigarette Into, You Know, Into Anyone's Hands And Say, Well That Makes Them A Bad Boy Or A Bad Girl. There Are Many More Creative Ways From A Writerly Point Of View To Do That.

There Are Some Young Women Movie Stars Who Are Doing It Everywhere, Smoking In Every Movie, Sometimes Even With Placements With A Pack Of Cigarettes.

I Worry That We Are Approaching A Time When That Which Is Shocking Is Squeezed Out By The Stalinism Of Political Correctness.
