Write a dialogue between someone who thinks smoking should be banned in movies and someone who thinks it shouldn’t.

Brandon and Brenda are two friends, they decides to go to cinema. Brandon wanted to smoke before the movie, Brenda raised up she is against cigarettes. She asked Brandon about smoking in films.

? - Do you think smoking should be banned in movies ? ? Brenda asked.

? - I totally disagree with this idea ! ? Brandon replied, shaking his head

? - But why ! Do you realize how unconscionable is it ? ?

? - It has to be admitted that smoking makes the characters look more sexy and glamorous,? he admitted. ? It shows their bad boy image and attitude, it gives them style and viewers like that ! ?

? -Nonsense ! There are more original ways to reveal a character’s personality. In fact, they can show their real personality throught their acts...Smoking is useless,? Brenda rose up.

? - In a way, you’re right...

? - ...moreover, the characters who smoke have a bad influence on viewers, it incites them to start smoking, notably teenagers, to look cool and glamorous,? Brenda added.

Brandon gave a broad smile and answered to Brenda :

? - That’s all very well, but if a movie shows that the characters who smoke are unhealthy because of smoking and stressed without cigarettes, it can dissuade people to smoke ! ?

? - I agree with you !? she nodded. ? A screenwriter should produce a movie about the effects of cigarettes on our body, it can be a very great idea! And a lot of people would be shocked by images of ravaged lungs, lung cancers, throat cancers, maimed larynx; it can help them to stop smoking! But what I can’t accept is that smoking makes ad for the tabacco companies, which use the promotion of cigarettes in movies to sell their products and to create new brands of cigarettes. In this way, I think smoking should be banned in movies, because tobacco companies grow rich thanks to it ! ?

? - From my point of view,? he sighed. ? I think screenwriters don’t have the choice, because some actors need to smoke during the shooting of the scene -because of their addiction to cigarettes-. Actors are very capricious, and if screenwriters want to keep them in their film, they are obliged to introduce smoking in their movies. ?

? - Yes, I’m sick of these capricious actors, who, indirectly, incite people and younger to smoke ! However, you didn’t manage to convince me, but I think we’re both right, the characters who smoke can improve and give charm to a movie, sometimes they can also have a bad influence on viewers...?

Suddenly, Brandon looked his watch and realized that the movie was beginning in two minutes :

? - Oh, we’re going to be late Brenda ! Hurry up, and let’s see the movie ; maybe there are smokers in it,? added ironically Brandon.
