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 article. http://www.screenout.org
