Studios offered anti-smoking PSAs
From the Associated Press
Hoping to reduce teen smoking, attorneys general from more than 35 states have offered movie studios free use of three public-service announcements to be included on DVDs and videos.
The move came nearly a year after 32 attorneys general sent a similar letter urging studios to add PSAs to home-viewing releases that depict smoking.
Studios referred calls to the Motion Picture Assn. of America, where a spokeswoman said it was too early to comment on whether studios would accept the offer to use the PSAs.
