"Young children may be influenced to start smoking through exposure to movie characters who smoke, researchers suggest.'Exposure possibly occurring as early as ages 4 to 7 appears to have as much influence over later smoking initiation as exposure occurring when children are older,' Dr. Linda Titus-Ernstoff told Reuters Health."
Will we ban movies with fat people, bad investors, people with "alternative" lifestyles, etc., because they may influence kids?
Maybe, just maybe, the parents ought to influence their own children.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
They already do.
They influence them to become fat piglets through nutritional child abuse.
Don't take the kids to the movies.
Rate them for certain "undesirable" behaviors. Now there is a slippery slope.
Point the finger in the right direction. No slope here.
Recognize that it is the parents who are responsible.
