The MPAA says that for the first time film depictions of cigarette smoking
will number among criteria used by its ratings board to determine how a
movie is rated.

Anti-tobacco lobbyists have been pressing for an automatic "R"
rating for films with smoking scenes, but MPAA chairman-CEO Dan Glickman on
Thursday rejected that proposal and said a more nuanced policy will be
implemented.

"The MPAA film rating system has existed for nearly 40 years as an
educational tool for parents to assist them in making decisions about what
movies are appropriate for their children," Glickman said. "It is
a system that is designed to evolve alongside modern parental concerns. I
am pleased that this system continues to receive overwhelming approval from
parents, and is consistently described as a valuable tool they rely upon in
making movie-going decisions for their families.
