Young people are no longer allowed to see smoking in movies
Soon to be censored films with smoking actors?
In Birmingham, England is planned that all movies that show smoking characters, automatically with a "18 years" classification will be censored. The Birmingham Primary Care Trust (PCT) - a division of the British health insurance - called for this classification. The outrageous reasons: young people were smoking by actors encourages them to engage themselves for a cigarette.
According to statistics from the Health Department will be over 5,000 teenagers from Birmingham smoker. According to the PCT at least half of these 5,000 young people smoke because they "were lured to this dangerous habit" of smoking scenes in movies. A few months ago this statement was presented to the City Council.
Birmingham have reportedly even more young smokers than other English cities. Therefore, one must respond as quickly as possible in order to "conquer vices" of this, the PCT. To give this nonsense a trace of seriousness, it was claimed that they had come in other countries to conclude that smoking scenes in films would bring young people to stop smoking "and try again".
If this provision should come through local legislation, the city council has the right movies, smoke-filled, as harmful to young people to identify and release at least 18 years. Excluded from the new law, however, are black and white classics - under the smoke-censorship would be covered only new movies.
Even though nothing has been decided. Lawmakers ask for Birmingham's more concerned that all residents of the city to participate in public hearings and express their opinions are. The hearings are scheduled for later this summer. Ronald Woodstock City Council does not recommend a quick legal resolution. He would first wait for the reports of other organizations before making a decision.
Sue Carlyle, spokeswoman for the "British Board of Film Classification" (BBFC) said that the public will certainly not with such a film censorship would agree. She quoted from a study conducted by the Board itself has carried out: According to the opinion of the audience should be sufficient so far as the content and message of a movie for an age rating. If, however, should be in movies advertised explicitly for smoking, is also the BBFC for an age restriction. Such a thing is however not happened for a long time, so Carlyle.
Council issued a final Carlyle worried parents still on its way: If it bothers some parents that children on television are confronted with smoking characters, they should not hesitate to switch to another program.

Smoking will be banned from the TV almost completely. There is then a smoke-free seal that you want to have part of the German Cancer Aid certainly understood as a quality seal.
It also wanted to - but works for you not for long. Filmmakers can make good troublemakers! When times Helmut Schmidt's cigarette airbrushed out, it is with you so far.
Here the anti-smoking Churchill's cigar have airbrushed out, this was the first shot that went into his own knee. More followed.
Uses what ifs, in Cameron's "Avatar," the heroine Sigourney Weaver smokes like a chimney and the ashtrays sources over .. Many of these scenes were removed after the premiere of the film.
In "Hurt Locker" (director is Cameron's ex-wife) is the same. Also in the film was smoked. Unfortunately, the Verbotssuechtler have since consistently censored.
Very many, including the U.S., by the way filmmakers refuse, as it is prescribed for them, only to let the smoke "Uebeltaeter".

That ...... you just chose the series 'in friendship' has been symbolic. Five or six years, the show caused a huge scandal, after it had been compromised, that the consignment was contaminated thoroughly with pharmaceutical product placement. Apparently, people know each other and also appreciates very much.
The same also for the usual suspects of the Action Alliance ... just once more reminded that the medical research group has done virtually nothing else .... distribute funds as the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer.
