" I really have no opinion on fake smoking in movies."

I asked not because of Clinton but because the discussion brought it to mind and it's a pet peeve of mine, ie lead characters in movies smoking even though it adds nothing to the story or to its realism. I am quite certain the tobacco companies are paying Hollywood to do it as a way of advertising and Hollywood is prostituting itself by taking the money to do it. It is particularly annoying to me because it is so easy to see the the actors or actresses are not real smokers since they either do not inhale or fake inhaling. The advertising, of course, is directed at impressionable kids and hero worshippers....
