So it's censorship and repression when a conservative group encourages private enterprises not to show the libelous, war profiteering 'documentary' Farenheit 9/11, but it's giving fair warning to the American public if somebody lights up a butt. After all, watching people smoke in movies could "possibly" get "200,000 kids addicted" in a year.
I hate liberals so very, very much.

You know, Michael Moore is upset because they are giving his movie an "R" rating! The movie shows ma-pom........spelling........and someone throwing a dead baby on top of other dead bodies, and one other horrible thing.
He is upset because "the kiddies" won't be able to see his movie if it gets an "R" rating.
Pity.

The R rating would be stupid for smoking. They should create a new rating called C for cancer. :-)

That happened last month before a Senate committee. The anti-smoking storm troopers must have loved hearing Senator Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) declare: "If something isn't done by the industry, something will be done by Congress.""If something isn't done by the industry, something will be done by Congress."

Why in the world are they dabbling in private organizations’ internal processes? Because as far as they are concerned the only rights anyone has are the ones THEY say you have.
Well written piece.

More proof that it has nothing to do with health and everything to do with behavior control! Thank goodness so many of the freepers support all of this government run amuck!

That's not just crazy; it's downright silly.

How much you want to bet that the same people who want films which feature smoking to have an R rating are the very same people who think Michael Moore's film should not get an R rating?
To: Mike Bates
Anti-smoking advocates would like movies that portray smoking to carry an R rating. Boy, "Ike: Countdown to D-Day" would have had a XXX rating then. Everybody smoked like chimneys.
I don't smoke, but for pity sakes! Someone get some balance here.
