Motion Picture Association of America will take into consideration smoking in movies while rating them. This new criteria is going to be included in MPAA's rating system and the movies with smoking personages will automatically get R rating.

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) today announced that the rating system is enhancing the amount of information provided to parents on the issue of smoking in films. In the past, illegal teen smoking has been a factor in the rating of films, alongside other parental concerns such as sex, violence and adult language.
