In Reply to: Smoking in movies... posted by Cetaele on December 30, 2004 at 21:09:40:
When Will Smith showed us his sneaker brand about 5 times in the beginning of I-Robot (disgusting plugs to me, just too much), that must have cost them a pretty penny. Do tobacco companies do the same?
That said, although...
1 - I used to be a smoker
2 - Think smoking is a bad habit
3 - Feel it sad to portray smokers on TV/Film as "cool"
... still realize that the fact is a number of people in life smoke, so it's not out of place in movies.
Makes me think of an old Bob Newhart radio skit about a tobacco company way back when introducing cigarettes to a buyer (?) that went something like:
"So you say that you take a bunch of dried leaves and roll them in paper?"
"Uh huh"
"Then you light one end on fire?"
"Yes, that's right"
"Then you put the other end to your mouth and inhale the smoke from the burning leaves?"
"That's right"......
