A bit late now, isn't it?<BR>And Mariska, are there really cinemas that allow smoking in them? All the ones I know of here (England) are non-smoking, for which I am extremely grateful. I choke on smoke, even though I am not asthmatic.<BR>I seriously doubt people pick up smoking from films like this. Gangster films, maybe. But from my experience it is people are in a group, and others smoke, so everyone is introduced into it. And bingo- they're hooked. And it isn't only tobacco, unfortunately. Sometimes the parents know and allow it, and even join in. But I am drawing on experiences of people I vaguely know here, not general trends. Just to give you a bit more of an idea- I am 15, and people at my school have been smoking since around year 8 (ages 12-13) unfortunately. I go on the train to and from school, and you see these young kids, who can only be in year 7 (11-12) smoking. Despite the trains being non-smoking. But there you go. These people know about the dangers of smoking, it is drilled into us constantly. But they don't care.<BR>In any case, I think having Gandalf sucking toffees would have...sucked. (No pun intended, honestly... )<p>[ October 26, 2003: Message edited by: Elentári_O_Most_Mighty_1 ]
