You Can't Smoke ANYWHERE Anymore!

Breaking news from the American Medical Association: Kids see smoking in the media.

Between TV and movies, each one of us has seen hundreds of examples of smoking. Now the AMA is saying those images of Cruella DeVille with her cigarette holder in her hand or Boss Hogg chompin' on his stogie actually encourage something like 400,000 kids every year to try smoking.

So what's the solution? The AMA says movies with smoking should be rated "R".

We discussed this in the newsroom -- and Greg & Steve even mentioned on the air -- that even having parents that smoke didn't affect the three of us: all of us have parents who smoke (either now or when we were little) and none of us smoke.

So what do you think -- do movie stars really have that much power over our children? Will taking smoking out of movies really help the situation?
