     In this passage Imitation of film :here's smoking at you, kid , Nicholas balakar states that "Children ages 10 to 14 are much more likely to take up smoking if they have seen actors smoke in the movies>" I argue that alot of tennager smoke because they have seen their favorite actor smoke.so they could to be like them they would want popular.Children think actor on t.v is healthy when they smoke so they try to do the samething as them.children also do smoking because of movies they seen.
        Balakar states that movies that are R-rated contain as much smoking.Children under 18 should not be watching movies that are R-rated.Parentsshould talk to their children telling them that smoking is not good for them They should tell their children that smoking can lead to lung cancer.Children shoukd not be able to go into a movie theatre with a movies that are R-rated without their parents.
       Dr James D Sargent,The lead author on the study and a professor of pediatrics at Dartmouth Medical scholl,States that kids begin watching "R-rated movies at fourth or fifth grades." childen should be doin school work at that age not watching R-rated movies.The study interview 6,522 children about their movie-viewing habits.Fifty films were chosen at radom form a list of 532 box." The researchers would add up the number of child who had been exposed to smoking in movies.The author also stated that "children who had the greatest exposure to smoking in movies were more than two a half likely to start smoking as for those who had the lowest".children would want to smoke because they seen their actor smoke but they dont know that they are not doin it for real and that they think they are more heathy.
    My stepbrother always use to say he would want to grow up to smoke because he had seen alot of actor smoking and he would to be like them,i would always tell him that smoking is not good for him.
     In my conclusion,children should not always want to smoke because they seen actor smoking.These actor smoke because they know what they are doing.They should take this very serious.
