What's Your Opinion?

Question: There's a campaign, aimed at teenagers who are influenced by the habits of celebrities, to add a warning when actors smoke in PG-13 rated movies. Do you agree or disagree with this proposal? Why?
 | | "I don't think it will do anything. That's the thing. Making a warning won't stop them. Movies are all about image. You have to go after the tobacco companies to stop that."
Jonathan Sequerra, Bushwick |

 | | "It's a good idea to have a warning. Kids are so easily influenced at that age. So then you won't send your child to that movie, because it's presenting cigarette usage." Rico Silvera, Flatbush |

 | | "Yeah, just to inform the parent this is what's going to be seen in the movie. Nowadays a lot of children try to be like celebrities. Be cool. Do what they see on TV and in the movies. So the parents should be informed." Patricia Frager, Canarsie |

 | | "I think it's a good idea, because parents need to know exactly what subliminal messages are being sent to their children. Then, parents can make a decision." Nasiya Alim, Canarsie |
