Scarlett Johansson turning kids into smokers?

An online survey on Smoking Habits of people accused Scarlett Johansson along with top stars like Johnny Depp, Leonardo Di Caprio, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears for literally turning youngsters to smokers.

According to Dr. Michael Rabinoff, ” Perhaps the most powerful form of subliminal advertisement is the practice of product placement of branded products and use of cigarettes by stars in movies. Scientific research has documented a dose-response effect of smoking portrayed in movies: the more children and underage teens see of smoking in movies (or the more they see their favorite movie stars smoke in movies), the more they smoke.

The vast majority of the new smokers around the world are children and underage teens. Currently, in the United States 80 % of smokers start smoking before they are 18 (it used to be 90%): that’s why some physicians and political leaders talk about smoking as a pediatric disease.”

Scarlett Johansson was also notoriously smoking alot after she split with her beau Josh Hartnett, late last year!
