The ’50s gimmick might work just as well today. Why not festoon establishments with signs that herald "We are 100 percent smoke-free"? And how about a picture of a firefighter hosing down a smoker as an attention grabber? Over 30 states have already issued smoking bans in some public buildings, and many cities have adopted no smoking bans in their restaurants, so it’s inevitable that this trend will continue. Florida has the most comprehensive smoking ban, which includes restaurants, country clubs, bowling alleys and even prisons. Several hotel chains have adopted a total non-smoking policy. Violators are subject to a $250 fine if they should light up in their room. In addition, the Walt Disney Company recently announced it will banish cigarette smoking in Disney branded films. Furthermore, it plans to place anti-smoking public-service messages on DVDs of its films that feature smoking. Also, NBC Universal Studios has committed to reducing the incidence of smoking in films rated for PG-13 or younger audiences, a clear sign that smoking in movies is on the decline. As a follow-up to that, old war movies always had an instruction from the platoon sergeant who would utter those famous words to the troops — "smoke ‘em if you got ‘em." In my way of thinking, if you have $5 for a pack of cigarettes and you are reticent about the dangers inherent in smoking, go for it. It’s your right. Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em,but please not around me! The words of Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore (AKA Robert Duvall) from the movie Apocalypse Now pretty much sum up my feelings about the whole issue of smoking when he said, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning."
