As much as I'm aware that smoking is a health hazard, I can't agree with plans in the UK to edit-out smoking scenes from classic cartoons like The Flinstones, Tom and Jerry, The Jetsons and Scooby Doo. It is, quite simply, vandalism. If health officials are worried that kids might follow suit, the shows could carry warnings at the beginning and end. Just as Road Runner cartoons could carry warnings against putting on roller skates and strapping Acme brand fireworks to your backpack.
