It wasn't the German gin. It was the pack of Marlboros!

From the comments on a story about tobacco on film:

Has anyone ever left a movie theater saying, "Gee, there should have been more smoking in that?" Of course not.

Not so fast.

I think the anti-smoking people don't get that Hollywood could be a valuable ally. If they wanted to get people to quit, they could just put this picture of Bette Davis on every pack.
