The tobacco industry released their official policy today. The policy announces a $50 million campaign the tobacco industry is putting forth to stop kids from smoking. Realizing that in the past people were more likely to smoke after seeing actors do so in movies, Nick Naylor, Chief spokesman and Vice President of the Academy of Tobacco Studies will be meeting with Hollywood super agent Jeff Megall. The two will discuss how to make smoking in movies cool again. However, the Tobacco Industry and Hollywood realize that with the health issues related to smoking being too prevalent the movie cannot take place in modern society. Rumors have been swirling around that the movie may star Catherine Zeta-Jones and take place in outer space.
Vermont Senator Ortolan Finistirre who is against smoking held a press conference where he hoped to win a vote which would place skull and crossbones on cigarette packages. He hopes the symbol will further put forth the point that cigarettes are hazardous to health. At the press conference , Naylor acknowledged smoking can lead to somebody having diseases while at the same time mentioning that Vermont cheese is bad for people as well.
Senator Finistirre also did not take too kindly to the idea of having smoke in films. He has introduced legislation to have cigarettes replaced by other items in all the old classic films which will be digitally revamped and then released on DVD.
After today it is clear to see the Tobacco industry has their work cut out for them. This industry has always been a controversial one and after today's release of their official policy the controversy is sure to continue.
