Disney films to ban depictions of smoking.Reuters reported on July 26, 2007
that Walt Disney Co. on Wednesday became the first major Hollywood studio to
ban depictions of smoking, saying there would be no smoking in its
family-oriented, Disney-branded films and it would ?odiscourage? it in
films distributed by its Touchstone and Miramax labels. Disney Chief
Executive Robert Iger also said in a letter to U.S. Rep. Edward Markey,
whose committee last month held hearings on the effects of movie images on
children, that the studio would place anti-smoking public service
announcements on DVDs of any future films that feature cigarette smoking. He
said the company would encourage theater owners to show anti-smoking public
service announcements, or PSAs, before such films.
