Rango, Johnny Depp’s new animated film, has run afoul of the anti-smoking lobby for the film’s frequent and graphic depictions of lighting up. There are at least 60 instances in which characters smoke in the PG film—among the most ever for a children’s animated movie. The only one that might give Rango a run for the money, experts say, might be 101 Dalmations, which featured chain-smoking Cruella de Vil. While Paramount Pictures defends its film, saying that its smoking characters are ancillary, that hasn’t done anything to snuff the critics’ ire. They say children who are exposed to any depictions of smoking in film, regardless of context, are more likely to light up. “A lot of kids are going to start smoking because of this movie,” said Stanton Glantz, director of the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education at the University of California-San Francisco.
