The whole concept was "nanny-ism" --but I think the parent should occupy that role.

Seems to me that the smoking and the violence can be dealt with separately. Just because the cartoon is also violent, which is a problem, doesn't mean that the smoking scenes, which are also a problem, can't be dealt with. Seems to me that deleting a few smoking scenes isn't a big deal relative considering the risk. It doesn't insult the "artistic value" but could be useful in not opening the door to smoking.

Tom and Jerry cartoons are full of violence, known for cats chasing mice with hammers, and a parent might want to consider not allowing kids to watch. That's the parent's role. They are not full of smoking, though, so a parent might not know to intervene.
