Million Dollar Baby (2004)

Shirtless men fight in a boxing ring

This is a great example of a film that could have easily included smoking realistically, especially in the boxing venues and rural Missouri. However, Clint Eastwood chose NOT to depict tobacco use, and it did not take away from the film at all. Using a standardized scoring system, this film received a smoking rating of 0 Butts (on a scale of 0-4 Butts).
