Daily Talker: Smoke-Free Disney Movies
Disney CEO Bob Iger announced Thursday at the company's annual shareholder meeting that he will "absolutely prohibit" depiction of smoking in Disney films with a PG-13 rating or below, unless they involve an historical figure who smoked.
"I thought it was the right thing for us to do".
The smoking ban will impact all films released with the ratings unless the movies are about an historical figure that was known for smoking, like Abraham Lincoln, Iger noted.
Iger's announcement also includes movies from Marvel Studios, who is behind movies such as The Avengers.
