Hollywood Sucks Up To
TOBACCO
By Tasha Paulson & Tasha Maeschen
Hollywood & Smoking Activity
Goals
• To alert Hollywood’s teen target audience in South
Dakota about how smoking is shown on screen.
• To help dig up the truth about the tobacco
industry’s history in Hollywood.
• To Empower you to challenge Hollywood to be
more realistic in its portrayals of smoking –who
really does it and what really happens.
The Situation
• Smoking in films has been a staple in the
movie industry since the 1930’s
What’s the deal
• Supply free cigarettes
to Hollywood
celebrities
• Pay cash to place their
brands in specific
movies
Previous product placement
• Example: Phillip Morris
• In the 1980’s they paid to
place Marlboro’s in
Superman 2 and Larks in
James Bond’s License to
Kill.
• But in 1989 Phillip Morris
denied ever paying anyone
to include smoking in
films.
DENY,DENY,DENY
• In 1989 when Congress began to question
the tobacco industry’s marketing practices
relating to tobacco product placement,
• Big Tobacco denies everything….
Under the Radar
• Example: RJ Reynolds
• Paid PR firm Rogers and
Cowen $12,500 a month
in 1991 to work with
Hollywood .
• RJR’s brands were placed
in seven films, including
prelude to a Kiss and the
Babe (both PG-13)
• The PR firm also reported
rejecting some placements
that would have associated
cigarettes with death.
Previous Product Placement
• Example:Brown&
Williamson
• Arranged to pay Sylvester
Stallone $500,000 in 1983
to use their products in at
least five of his movies.
• BUT in 1989, RJR had
denied ever paying anyone
to include smoking in
films.
What they say…
• “[Brown & Williamson] did not know of any
situation in which it caused a smoking scene to
appear in a movie or television program since
1979

B&W’s response to congress
• “Tobacco companies do not encourage smoking
scenes on movies. They never request changes,
and have never been given to right to make
changes to any film.
1998 Master Settlement
Agreement (MSA)
• No participating manufacturer may make or cause
to be made, any payment or other consideration to
any other person or entity to use , display, make
reference to or use as a prop any tobacco product,
Tobacco product package, advertisement for a
Tobacco product or any other item bearing a brand
name in any motion picture, television show,
theatrical production or other live performance,
live or recorded performance of music,
commercial film or video, or video game…”

The Solution
• Require strong antismoking ads
• Studios and theaters
should require genuinely
strong anti-smoking ads
(not one produced by a
tobacco company) to run
before any film with any
tobacco presence,
regardless of its MPAA
rating.
What Can You Do?
• Letter writing
campaigns
• Stick it to ‘em
• Rental card/Fliers
• Flash mobs
• Movie reviews
• Letters to the editor
• Movie nights
Stick it to ‘Em
• Did you know…
• 60% of all smoking in films is done in youth-rated
movies –G, PG , and PG-13
• In 2001, the tobacco industry spent $11.22 billion
in advertising (that includes promotion in
magazines, retail stores, and sponsoring sporting
games).
Tobacco Advertising in any form is
Dangerous!
The Solution
• Stop identifying tobacco brands.
• There should be no tobacco usage in youth
movies.
Does this look cool?
• Are you listening???
• Look in the mirror!!
• Have you been
smoking lately?
• This is what it will do
to you.

Tobacco Smokes You!!
Secondhand Smoke
KILLS!
By: Emily Ruml, Amelia
LaBuff, Josie Balcom
• I am an 8th grader that suffers with secondhand smoke and I
hate it! Everyday when I go anywhere I always smell like smoke.
I know that I am not as healthy because it is very hard for me to
breathe when I run. Most of my family smokes except me, who
chooses not to because I want a healthy life for myself. That is
why I am in SWAT (Students Working Against Tobacco).
I always tell my parents that smoking hurts me and them. I
know that they feel bad “But it is very hard for us to quit” they
say! I often leave notes around telling them how bad it is for
them. I hope that I can make a difference in my sisters’, friends’,
and MY life.
The Effects on Children

pneumonia, bronchitis,
asthma, ear infections,
Sudden Infant Death
Syndrome, cancers, hard

or after pregnancy can
cause the child to have
irreversible growth and
developmental problems
• Children are vulnerable to
SHS and will likely smoke
as they get older
The Deadly Ingredients

(embalming fluid),
cyanide (gas
chamber chemical),

balls),

cleaner), toluene,

cleaning products,

What if you smoke?

you!

fire and make Smokey
the bear mad!!!
