One of the characters in The News Broadcast is a smoker. The actor isn’t. Fortunately, the character doesn’t actually smoke on screen, but the actor needs a cigarette as a prop.
Her children were horrified to see Mummy with a cigarette in her mouth. There was much criticism and condemnation until the circumstances were explained.
The actor is delighted her children are so strongly opposed to tobacco use. She’s also pleased that it completely took the kids’ attention away from the fact that they overheard “bad language” in the script.
