WASHINGTON (AP) - Cigarette smoking is pervasive in movies. That's according to a National Cancer Institute report which says tobacco marketing and showing smoking in movies promote youth smoking. The report says smoking is seen in three out of four or more, of contemporary box-office hits. And, it says identifiable cigarette brands appear in about one-third of movies. One of the recommendations suggested by the editors of the report is to put anti-tobacco advertisements before films "to partially counter the impact of tobacco portrayals in movies."
