Smoking in films

It has been suggested that films that show people smoking should be given an 18 certificate, do you agree?

Interesting to note most of these photographs show the ladies smoking, but there is one very famous old film scene missing, see video.

Why is it that females smoke differently to males? They generally fold their arms while holding a cigarette, and then put the cigarette in their mouth, draw on it, cock their head backwards and blow the smoke out into the air, just an observation, but personally I don't like to see the fairer sex smoke.

I don't really have a view about certificates as they don't seem to restrict what people watch anyway.
One thing I noticed recently was that there is a lot of smoking in the Swedish Wallander detective series(K Hendriksson version) and this is quite recent production. It seemed to contain much more than would be seen on UK television.

You know that those mannerisms of female smokers is an affect for the movies, not in real life.
