07/25/2007: "Way to go Disney..."

Walt Disney Co. on Wednesday became the first major Hollywood studio to ban depictions of smoking, saying there would be no smoking in its family-oriented, Disney-branded films and it would “discourage” it in films distributed by its Touchstone and Miramax labels. Disney Chief Executive Robert Iger also said in a letter to U.S. Rep. Edward Markey, whose committee last month held hearings on the effects of movie images on children, that the studio would place anti-smoking public service announcements on DVDs of any future films that feature cigarette smoking.
For once a company willing to live up to it's name ("Family oriented") even if it means lose of the good old green back. I support this 100% and so does Belle and her dancing partner (and yes I know she is now into Rapunzel).
