Comcast falls off the wagon and releases two PG-13 smoking movies
Since June 30, Comcast released two PG-13 films with smoking: Self/less and Terminator Genesys. This reduces the number of MPAA-member companies with 100% smokefree records for their 2015 youth-rated films from four to three: Disney, Time Warner and Viacom.
It is yet another example of why we need the R rating to protect kids.
The observation is care of Jonathan Polansky based on film data collected by Thumbs Up! Thumbs Down!, a project of Breathe California.
