The camera moves in to focus on a bright sign where a neon cigarette arches up to meet neon red lips. It slowly pans downward to feature an attractive young woman smoking.

The message: life is beautiful; life is exciting; life is smoking.

Unfortunately it’s not all that glamorous. Movies provide a medium not only to portray tobacco use as popular, independent, and social, but to show how movie stars are involved with these kinds of products...
