25% Yes
75% No

Comment: no because i really don't see any smoking in it and even if there is there is always someone that turns against the smoking setting an example from cols., ohio by kate

Comment: If they make any movie showing smoking rated R, then they might as well make all the current rated R films NC-17. There are worse things in film than smoking. It's not the job of the movies to raise your children. It's the job of the parent to teach a child what's right or wrong, not anyone else. from Columbus, Ohio by Carrie

Comment: Smoking is a legal and personal life choice and should not be censored.Alcohol is a drug but it is exempted. Obesity is a national crisis. Why not display nobody eating-drinking or smoking and then you would have a fantasy movie where people are portrayed as perfect droids. Get real this is life and education gives each person information to make an informed decision. This is America and freedom of expression is our guarantee. from Reynoldsburg, Ohio by John

NO WONDER THIS COUNTRY IS SCREWED UP.! from CHILLICOTHE,OHIO, ohio by STEVEN

Comment: Of course the old movies had a lot of smoking in them too -- but they were made well before smoking was proven to be harmful. from Union Furnace, Ohio by Joyce

Comment: Yes! I appreciate the efforts to make movies with smoking rated R, but I wish the federal government would pass a law that would prohibit smoking in a vehicle while children are on board. from Marion, Ohio by Brandy

Comment: children are going to see it everywhere from shawnee, ohio by star
