When was the last anyone in a Hollywood produced movie smoked an actual cigarette?

Well then. I don't feel silly now.

For some reason I thought there was legislation against that kinda thing in movies. I have no idea why I thought that.

Edit: I guess it was just for kids media. That's usually a lot more interesting than media directed at adults...

Went to sleep at like 6pm and slept until 7. So yeah, happens to us all.

its reasonable to not want smoking in childrens films, especially with the protagonists lighting one

i could not give fewer shits about smoking in adult-oriented movies, though, and im not sure why theyre listed on the smoke/smokefree list

adult films are exclusively made with children in mind

adult-oriented, not adult

if filmmakers gone so far as to include swearing, recreational drug use, sex, and violence in their movies, i dont think anyones losing any sleep over a guy lighting a swisher in an alley

[Silverthrone]

Because gib glorious tobacco-free world NAO, basically. There is a knotty issue there (with sponsorships, "sponsorships" and not sponsorships and the ethics of drug marketing in media et cetera), but it's usually boiled down to a nice and digestable hysterical summary.

Swearing, drugs, sex and violence = kids are the target demographic

[itisnotlogical]

Maybe I was a weird kid, but when I was little I didn't really give two shits about kid's movies. I always wanted to watch James Bond and The Matrix and stuff.

[Eric Blank]

I, too, appreciated adult-oriented movies more than kids movies.

So recently I've been getting into Dwarf fortress again, with the masterwork mod. And Ill freely admit I haven't played in a looonng time. I think the last time I played was a little dip into adventure mode when towers and night creatures were new.

So anyway, I'm running an orc fort and still doing some early setup. I have some small little houses for my starting orcs and plans to start walling in the area, and a nice cabin for my clan leader. When I notice.... Is that smoke coming from the trees?!

So I panic and check if the trees are somehow on fire... "Cherry flowers"

...

I look a bit more, these are cherry trees. They're blossoming and spreading cute pink petals like they're wont to do.

I was spooked by blossoming cherry trees. God dammit DF.

There is legislation, but it does not ban the act of smoking from movies, it just bans showing recognizable brand names (same for booze)

You missed my point.

If you're going ot include everything listed in your quote, cigarettes are probably the least of your problems in the eyes of the moral guardians.

But a KIDS MOVIE, such as the likes of Disney and whatever, have an actual reason to not include cigarettes because they're seen as being  responsible for teaching children. I don't think anyone's counting on Kill Bill to raise the next generation with wholesome values.

i dont care if you preferred backdoor sluts 9 when you were a literal 3-month-old fetus kicking his mothers stomach, the point still stands

If you are a moral guardian you are a poor one if you let smoking slide just to focus exclusively on other things, no? No, you tackle all of them
Otherwise we would all stand around making pointless observations about how the police shouldn't bother with thieves whilst murders still happen
You kinda have to deal with all of them
