the magazine ads, it's totally up to the companies. In some movies, a cigarette is believed to complete a character. It gives them a certain personality and style, so the movie directors might not want to give that up because it could be a very important part in the characters personality.

If a child sees all bad things about smoking and tobacco use and no good they are definitely more likely not to smoke.
