SMOKING........

There has been a lot of hype in the papers and on the television channels about the ban on smoking on screen. There have been long discussions,debates,hours of talks,and much more to burn our heads with thoughts ,but at the end of the day there law still exists and will be implemented from this august.According to me the ban in some terms is justified and in some terms is not.As we all know there is no limit to imagination and what we see on the screen is 'supposed to be fiction' so the people making movies are justified on their part.The sad thing is when I hear people like mahesh bhatt justifying their part the guy just wants to sell his movies like anything for eg nazar,zeher,murder,tumsa nahi dekha.......the list goes on...the guy just uses skin show to make his movies work these movies have no substance i.e nothing at all that is watchable. That guy says that we don't use smoking sequences for glamourisation. That person for one surely does it to make money.People like shyam benegal are still justified as at least they have something to offer .Then comes the part of the great censor board itself. The guys are totally out of their minds.I don't think they have ever seen channels like ETC and the trailors of the upcoming movies shown on them.That is where strict implementation of laws is required.You see people do start smoking if they see their stars doing the same.So according to me the only solution out is whenever such sequences are there in the movie the same person smoking on screen should in the starting say that smoking is injurious to your health people don't smoke.... and I think the problem will be solved.
