One year later : are MPAA’s tobacco labels protecting movie audiences?

(Disponible en anglais seulement.)

In May 2007, the Major Picture Association of America (MPAA) announced that it would take into account smoking in its movie ratings. This report assesses whether or not the MPAA has adhered to its policy.

Comment: A very interesting report. The media should continue to address that smoking in movies is influential in youth smoking initiation.
