Cigars and Cigarettes in Films

So it seems in my current readings that the MPAA wants to change the ratings on films that include Cigars and Cigarettes in their Family and Childrens films. I am not sure where all of you stand on this but I think it is a bit too far. I mean we all grew up watching Bugs Bunny, Disney Films, Fantasy etc. and we all grew up fine. This just takes it a bit too far. I mean we all know they are trying to say smoking is bad. Yes its bad okay. But a Bad guy Smoking a Cigar is way more effective than what a Bad Guy eating a fruit roll-up?

Its not really a big deal, but I think it can just be left alone. We don't need another digital fix (like in E.T.) taking items out of the films. Do I think it will be good in the end, yes it'll be fine as long as they don't censor what is already out there, try to digitally fix it or never release it for our children to see.

Thoughts anyone?
