Rated R for excessive smoking.

This month, the Motion Picture Association of American announced that smoking will now play a role in determining a film’s rating. Smoking used to only play a roll when underage usage was shown, but now glamorized or pervasive smoking will up a film’s rating.

It’s a start, but I’m with some anti-smoking groups who are lobbying for an automatic R rating for any film depicting smoking. Though, that would mean that 101 Dalmations would be rated R.
