I think the ban is absurd. But at the same time I feel filmmakers should stop glorifying smoking as something heroic, cool, a man thing. impressionable teens hang on to everything that their idol does. its a social responsibility that should be left to filmmakers to fulfill. I am not opposed to showing smoking on screen per se but only the glorification of it. if the character has to smoke then he must be shown smoking. but why tend to hype it as something stylish? but a ban isn't the solution.
