A.O. Scott on Smoking in the Movies

Read it here.

Interesting thoughts--I agree with him that it is a beautiful thing to see on screen--who doesn't get a kick out of Humphrey Bogart taking a drag? It's an interesting idea to think that smoking is equivalent to other film impossibilities; "Make it something akin to time travel, or slapstick, or a mad drive to the airport to stop the one you love from getting on that plane — something that only happens in the movies," Scott writes.

Anyway, read the piece.
