Rob Reiner，co-founder of Castle Rock Entertainment，was greadtly surprised when he saw his studio's film Proof of Life. “Wow，why is Meg Ryan smoking up a storm?”Reiner says. “It didn't add to the plot. ”Fourteen months later，Castle Rock has a policy of discouraging tobacco use. Any actor，director or screenwriter who wants to depict it must first meet with Reiner. “They have to make a really good case. ”he says. “Movies are basically advertising cigarettes to kids. ”Movie characters light up more often than people do in real life，argues Stanton Glantz，a professor of medicine who has launched a“Smoke-Free Movies”newspaper ad campaign. His study found that on average the 20 top-grossing films featured 50%more instances of smoking an hour in 2000 than in 1960.
