A new government survey shows movies with depictions of smoking have increased in 2011. That's reversing a five-year decline, according to a report in the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Journal.
The finding comes just a few months after the US Surgeon General's office warned that seeing smoking in movies causes young people to start smoking.
Experts say the movie industry needs to adopt a uniform set of policies to cut down on smoking scenes in movies.
