OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) _ Attorney General Drew Edmondson wants the film industry to stamp out scenes of smoking in movies.

Edmondson says filmmakers should heed the advice of a Harvard University study showing that eliminating smoking scenes in movies seen by children can prevent kids from lighting up later in life.

Edmondson and 31 other attorneys general stressed the findings in a letter to the Motion Picture Association of America, which requested the Harvard study.
