Although the number of movies showing people that smoke has declined since 2005 there are still too many films that allow scenes with smoking in them according to a report commissioned by the CDC.
Such exposure is deemed unacceptable and would encourage youths to take up the habit. The report stated that half of the popular movies contained tobacco imagery and 54 % of this was in the PG-13 category.
It was reported that companies have done little to omit these scenes from film of this category. Voluntary changes by Viacom in particular have no scenes which contain tobacco in 2009.
