Reviewers' Comments:
Tobacco and drug addiction was shown realistically but when it came to Robert Downey, Jr. smoking a cigarette it was seen as cool and relaxing, just the right image to encourage someone to use it. CF & SM

Anti-Tobacco Message 1:
NS sign
Health of Non-smoker
Jamie Foxx "…nastiness and degradation..(cigarettes)..they drop cigarettes on the ground to torment me." Robert "You don't see that on the street (no smoking sign & refers to Jamie's dislike of cigarettes)
Robert finds a cigarette butt and hides it before Jamie can see it. No smoking sign at mission for homeless and at apartment building
