Exposure of tobacco and alcohol consumption in media and filmmaking has been related to promotion of smoking and drinking in adults. Current regulation aims to restrict tobacco and alcohol advertising in order to avoid alcohol consumption and smoking habits. We aimed to assess the impact of smoking and drinking habits in video-on-demand services. Three independent investigators watched the 50 most popular movies available in Netflix streaming platform, according to York Times and recorded incidence of smoking and drinking scenes for both primary and secondary actors. 45 movies were included in our analysis. Main characters appeared to smoke in 19 movies and to consume alcohol in 33 movies, while secondary characters in 32 movies with 121 scenes and consumed alcohol in 38 movies, respectively. First actors were males in 22 movies, females in 7 movies and both males and females in 6 movies. Movies' directors were males in 29 movies and females in 6 movies. Our analysis found increased content of smoking and drinking scenes in online movies and showed that recently released movies presented with increased incidence of drinking and smoking scenes, while era depicted in movies also affects smoking and drinking content.
媒体和电影制作中对烟草和酒精消费的暴露与成年人中吸烟和饮酒的促进有关。当前的法规旨在限制烟草和酒精广告，以避免饮酒和吸烟习惯。我们旨在评估视频点播服务中吸烟和饮酒习惯的影响。三名独立调查员根据《纽约时报》观看了网飞流媒体平台上最受欢迎的 50 部电影，并记录了主要和次要演员的吸烟和饮酒场景的发生率。我们的分析包括 45 部电影。主要角色在 19 部电影中吸烟，在 33 部电影中饮酒，而次要角色在 32 部电影中有 121 个场景，在 38 部电影中饮酒。22 部电影中的主角是男性，7 部电影中的主角是女性，6 部电影中的主角是男女混合。电影导演中，29 部电影是男性，6 部电影是女性。我们的分析发现，在线电影中的吸烟和饮酒场景内容有所增加，并表明最近上映的电影中饮酒和吸烟场景的发生率有所增加，而电影所描绘的时代也影响着吸烟和饮酒的内容。
