Turner broadcasting, after receiving viewer complaints, has decided “to edit out scenes that glamorize smoking.” My initial reaction is Yeah Baby! I’m not sure that’s really how I feel about it. I watched a lot of TV as a kid. It would have been better for me if they edited out glamorized eating. Both my parents smoked and I found myself never tempted by the habit myself. I used to be a radical anti-smoker: Lets just send all smokers to a lovely tropical island, sterilize them, and let them live out their days in sunny splendor. That’s not my view today but I still avoid most social situations that might expose me to smoke.

Later…
