No smoking for actresses from January

After canvassing for no using of animals, no smoking scenes, the Censor Board has come up with something else now.

The Censor Board originally aimed its scissors against smoking scenes. Then it was modified to screening these scenes with a warning subtitle that 'smoking is injurious to health.'

Next came the enforcement from the Animal Welfare Board that animals could not be used in films without the No Objection Certificate from the AWB. As a result, many films including 'Imsai Arasan' had a hard time before getting released.

This problem also got solved and now the Censor Board has thought of something else. From now on, scenes of actresses smoking on screen will be edited out. The South Censor Board is to set this into motion from coming January.

Those who saw Aishwarya puff in 'New' and 'Priyasakhi' and Asin in 'M Kumaran S/O Mahalakshmi' have to reconcile to the fact that they can't see such scenes on screen any more!
