Joe Lieberman was threatening censorship. What I'm arguing is that if the creative people in Hollywood themselves have a responsibility, have a moral responsibility in terms of smoking, not to show smoking in movies.

Don't smoke. Don't kill yourselves. Don't maim yourselves. Tell your friends. Please don't smoke.
