MPAA Ratings Now Take Smoking Into Consideration
Published by Matthew Jeppsen May 10th, 2007 in Art, News, Off TopicAfter years of campaigning by health organizations and child advocacy groups, the Motion Picture Association of America has decided to take a harder stance against cigarette smoking in the movies.
“In the past, illegal teen smoking has been a factor in the rating of films, alongside other parental concerns such as sex, violence and adult language,â€? the MPAA said in a statement. “Now, all smoking will be considered, and depictions that glamorize smoking or movies that feature pervasive smoking outside of a historic or other mitigating context may receive a higher rating.”
So that pretty much guarantees that every cliche’d student film will get a higher rating, right? Variety has the scoop.
