Tobacco use in movies 'falling'


Tobacco use in films is falling, a US report on smoking in movies has found.
Yet its authors claim smoking still features in too many films and could be influencing young people to take it up.
"There's a declining trend which is good to see," said Ursula Bauer of the Center for Disease Control. "But we haven't made nearly enough progress".
The research is based on how many times tobacco use was shown in the biggest-grossing US films released between 1991 and 2009. BBC News
