No more smoking with Tom and Jerry :

Tom and Jerry cartoons will have some scenes of characters smoking edited out after a viewer complained about them being shown to children. Two episodes — Texas Tom and Tennis Chumps — show the cat and his rival Butch smoking, but makers have now agreed to cut them out. The move came after Ofcom, the group that keeps an eye on broadcasting, said the scenes might encourage the habit. Ofcom did say they recognised the two episodes, which are over 50 years old, were made at a time when smoking was not considered as bad as it is today. According to reports Turner Broadcasting, which owns the rights to the Tom and Jerry cartoons, has said it will now cut smoking scenes out of about 1,500 of its cartoons.
