I don't think that violent tv shows, make youths violent, that's in the same vein as blaming video games, music, etc.
My favorite artist by far is Marilyn Manson (notice my signature) he was the most focused on supposed "influence" on the columbine shooters, until it was found out they didn't even like him, at all. I've played violent video games since I was about 8, I've watched porn since I was 11 and lied about my age on those websites for years, and I haven't become a rapist, a violent criminal, a mass shooter, or whatever else. I don't think teens are that much influenced by TV shows, they are much more influenced by their peers, who by my experiences in high school from 2009-2013, all of the smokers smoke cigarettes or marijuana, some probably vape in recent years too. I never saw one of my peers ever smoking a cigar or pipe.
I agree this truth initiative is just censorship, some people smoke in reality, while I would not recommend someone smoke marijuana or cigarettes, cigars and pipes in moderation, just like alcohol while not healthy for you, are not that big of a deal.
Reading the article the truth initiative studied people 15-24, well I am 24 and I am kind of insulted, insulted at the fact that they think I can be influenced to do something just by seeing it in some show. I've seen people do heroine, cocaine, LSD, and worse in movies and shows, and murder people, etc, and I've never done that and I won't do that.
TruthInitiave = a bunch of misguided do gooders.

Nothing truthful about that so-called Truth Initiative.
It's the Age of the Godless Scoundrel.
Never got suckered into Netflix, little better than cable, but still a pile o' shit, alright. I'll stick to my DVDs and old games for entertainment.

Hard to believe there's actual hate for Netflix. Maybe the company sucks, but I enjoy watching some of their steaming and streaming crap.
I’m with Duane on this one. Smoking is, in general terms, very unpopular. All sorts of money-making enterprises, particularly mass entertainment ones, do not want to be perceived as being anything close to pro-smoking. So much so, they will sign on to anti-smoking initiatives to be on the “right” side of the controversy. There’s WAY more money to be made (or far less to lose) pandering to the anti side of the fence. Netflix’s job is to make money, pure and simple, and they made an obviously rational business decision.
