The movie industry was given exceptions about wearing mask, and it’s a shame that they’re starting to film with smoking again.

Of all the things to be concerned about in movies these days, smoking is NOT on my list. Some have even wanted to touch up "I Love Lucy" episodes to remove the smoking. OK, the smoking biollboards are gone. Here in Arizona, the marijuana billboards are everywhere, and there are NO WARNING LABELS. Pot pizzas, burgers, gummies, nachos, you name it. All advertised with no restriction I can see.

George Burns and his stogie were not a problem.

I thought the apparent ban on smoking was stupid especially considering the deviance and immorality they replaced it with which they have no qualms about showing. Slightly more annoying now though is the seemingly CONSTANT smoking replete with fake inhaling and self conscious clumsy holding of the cigarette. I can tell if the actor is a real life smoker by the way they hold and handle the cigarette. Most are too aware of the cigarette in their hand. That aside they do over do it now. A few days ago, watching some movie or other, some actress clumsily fired up the films eight billionth cigarette and I actually said out loud “Ah geez give it a rest.”
