Indian film industry should reserve smoking for villains


David Weinberger notes that the Indian film industry is going to start pixellating cigarettes in movies "to avoid glamorizing them" and may add anti-smoking messages onscreen while cigs are present.

Weinberger wisely observes, however, "Doesn't the Indian government know that in American movies smoking is a sure sign that you're a bad guy/gal whose comeuppance will come long before lung cancer can take hold?" Link
