Cigarettes on DVDs are going up in smoke, as the six major studios have just announced that they will include anti-smoking public service announcements on millions of youth-rated DVDs of movies with scenes of tobacco use.

Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Twentieth Century Fox, Universal Pictures, Walt Disney Company and Warner Bros. will place California's anti-smoking public service announcements in the opening minutes of DVDs of all new movies with tobacco use that are rated G, PG and PG-13.

The public service announcements will appear before the films on each DVD and can currently be seen online at www.TobaccoFreeCA.com. At the end of each 30-second PSA, viewers are directed to TobaccoFreeCA.com for information on the dangers of smoking and for help in quitting and helping others quit.

So all those parents who actually believed that the scenes in Thank You for Smoking can now breathe a little easier. Political correction has taken a swing back in the other direction.
