American Academy of Pediatrics calls for ending smoking placement in movies, recommends against ecigs for cessation
The American Academy of Pediatics just released new Tobacco Prevention Guidelines. Among other things, the guidelines say:
"Advertising and promotion is a cause of tobacco use initiation in adolescents. Therefore, tobacco advertising and promotion that is accessible to children should be prohibited, including point-of-sale advertising, product placements in movies and other entertainment media, and promotion in print or Internet-based media accessible to youths.” [Emphasis added]
They also recommended against use of e-cigarettes for cessation.
