Screens vs. Smoking

On-screen violence is nearly as bad a public health problem as smoking.

That is the major finding of a study by two researchers who claim that violence on television, in films, and in video games causes agressiveness in males and females, children and adults.

A sidelight of the study is that video game-playing devices are now in 83 percent of American households with children and, consequently, have also become a major factor in creating aggressiveness in children.
