Put That Out
I don't usually pay any attention to movie ratings. Though sometimes when the rating appears on the screen, I will read the reasons behind the rating. I watched Midnight in Paris this weekend and was surprised by the reason for its PG-13 rating. Some sexual references and smoking were what earned this movie the PG-13. Is smoking so bad that you need to be thirteen to view it?

Yes. There was a movement to go back and ret-con old movie ratings because of smoking. I remember reading an article about whether or not Casablanca ought to be rated R because of all the smoking in it.
