New York Times Article Features Alliance's Screen Out! Program
Screen
Out! News
The February 25th edition of The New York Times
spotlights the Alliance's Screen Out! program which addresses the problem of
tobacco in Hollywood by demanding that future youth-rated films be
tobacco-free and break the ties between the entertainment and tobacco
industries. The article draws attention to Screen Out's disapproval of
multiple scenes where American Spirit cigarettes are brand
identified in the recent youth-rated movie "He's Just Not that
Into You." The article quotes support from Screen Out! Director
Melissa Walthers as well as a spokesman for Santa Fe Tobacco, the
manufacturer of the cigarettes featured in the movie. A Warner
Brothers spokesman declined to comment. Click herr to read the
