Really now...aren't there worse ills of our society to focus on? Beating up on we folks who happen to smoke is so very easy, and just wrong. Enough with the stigmas!
Insulating the young from images of smoking and such just makes these "forbidden fruits" more tempting. Why not show the world as it is, and teach our kids to use their own brains for smart choices instead? Why not? Because parenting is a helluva lot easier if you get other people to rate things for you...the same way that too many teachers in this country are responsible for making-up for lack of their pupils' preparation for life.
