I wonder if people are aware that there are several approaches and strategies when it comes to quitting smoking? Not to mention understanding the concept of smoking a well. We were not born with the notion that smoking is cool or whatever, we were condition to it.

The movie industry really does affect the youth a lot because children look up to some of these actors and actresses. When they see them smoking in their movies, they may take that a sign that it is ok to smoke. I think smoking should be banned from movies.
