Well, perhaps finger-pointing was the wrong word. I'm just saying, we shouldn't piously observe Hollywood stars and forget our own behavior. I would not object to identifying the wrongs of smoking, but what I find a little silly is the big list of stars and their own individual crimes. I think a more general article would be better, and we should avoid a "more words is better" approach, like Wikipedia does.

: There is nothing "pious" about this.  Values and lifestyles can cause harm just as surely as smoking can.  Do we criticize anti-smoking statements as "pious"?  Of course not.  Highlighting the harm caused by [[Hollywood Values]] is not pious either.  In fact, it can be scientifically studied.
