R-Rated Risk

If you let your kid watch R-rated movies – their health could be at risk...

Kids who watch R-rated movies are three times more likely to start smoking. That’s according to a new study in the journal Pediatrics. The authors of the study say it’s most likely because more R-rated movies glorify risky or thrill-seeking behavior with little or no negative consequences.

Some of our favorite stars puff away in R-rated movies even if they’re character is a good guy or girl. In G or PG-rated movies – smoking is a rarity and usually reserved for the bad guys or girls.
