No Smokes on Screen

While our government is making a major effort to discourage cigarette smoking, we, and our children, now see highly respected actors each week on television portraying a doctor, the president of the United States and, most recently, the chief justice of the United States Supreme Court, smoking cigarettes.

I respectfully submit that Ted Danson, Martin Sheen and James Garner, and their producers, should do the right thing for our children and our country and cease all further cigarette smoking on their television shows.
