Films that depict actors smoking cigarettes should carry the same age classification as those containing graphic sex and violence, according to experts.

據(jù)報道，有演員抽煙的情節(jié)的電影要和包含性、暴力情節(jié)的電影劃在同一年齡限制等級下。

The claim comes after a new study revealed that teenagers are more likely to take up the deadly habit after watching movies which glamorise smoking.

這項規(guī)定源于一項新的研究，研究顯示青年人更可能在看完那些美化吸煙的電影后產(chǎn)生抽煙這種致命的壞習(xí)慣。

Researchers from the University of Bristol found that 15-year-olds who saw the most films showing actors puffing on a cigarette were 73 per cent more likely to have tried one than those who has seen the least. They were also almost 50 per cent more likely to be a current smoker than those least exposed.

來自布里斯托大學(xué)的研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，15歲的青年人在觀看過大多數(shù)有演員吸煙鏡頭的電影后，73%的人會想去模仿，這比那些沒有看過的人比例高出很多。與接觸過更少的抽煙鏡頭的人相比，他們中的50%更愿意做個現(xiàn)時吸煙者。

The UK Centre for Tobacco Control Studies has called on the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) and the Government to review their policies on film classification, arguing that under-18s need to be protected from potentially harmful imagery.

英國煙草控制研究中心曾要求英國電影分級委員會和政府重新審視他們對于電影分級的政策，尤其是討論要保護(hù)18歲以下的青少年不受潛在有害形象的危害。

Dr Andrea Waylen, who led the medical research, said: "More than half the films shown in the UK that contain smoking are rated UK15 or below, so children and young teenagers are clearly exposed. Our results confirm an association between this exposure and youth smoking in this country, indicating that raising the certification to 18 in the UK is likely to lower smoking rates among youth."

領(lǐng)導(dǎo)這一醫(yī)療研究的安德里亞·韋倫博士說：“在英國，包含吸煙鏡頭的電影一半以上都在UK15級（英國電影分級中的一級，適合15歲以上人士觀看）或其以下，所以兒童和青少年很容易接觸到這些鏡頭?！蔽覀兊慕Y(jié)果確認(rèn)了這種接觸與該國年輕吸煙者之間的聯(lián)系。其表明如果將等級增加到18級，年輕人吸煙的比率很有可能降低?！?

Such a policy would also make the movie ratings system consistent with the ban on tobacco advertising in all other media.

這一政策也使電影分級系統(tǒng)與“禁止煙草廣告出現(xiàn)于其他任何媒體”的禁令相一致。

It was nice that David Cooke, the BBFC director, had said: "Glamorising smoking has been included as a classification issue in our published classification guidelines."

值得高興的是，英國電影分級委員會主管大衛(wèi)·庫克已表示：“是否美化吸煙現(xiàn)已成為我們的出版分類準(zhǔn)側(cè)之一。”
