A drop of nicotine kills the horse. And who killed Laura Palmer?
Very soon we will be able to return to “twin Peaks”, a special world of David Lynch and Mark frostbordering our reality only partially. They drink a lot of coffee, enjoy cherry pie, wearing cozy sweaters and hide under all those terrible transcendent mystery. But still there is smoke. Many characters, especially women, loved to smoke in the frame. Himself a heavy smoker, Lynch filed these scenes with a particular beauty and charm naravam. Schoolgirl Laura Palmer at every opportunity pitched one cigarette after another, Smoking flirtatious Audrey Horne, Smoking rebel Bobby Briggs and many others. This habit was one of the recognizable traits of the characters, and at the time of such television tolerated.
However, times have changed. It is unknown whether the exposed channel Showtime some demands to the creators on this account, and it is unlikely. But here in our country, representatives of the state Duma have already spoken out on this issue. Nikolai Gerasimenko, member of the parliamentary Committee on health, recalled that in accordance with the legislation of the Russian TV channel TV-3, which will broadcast “twin Peaks” in Russia, must not only warn the audience about Smoking scenes, but cut them in that case, if you do not break the artistic sense. Well, Smoking in the first two seasons of the series explicitly made a part of this very artistic sense, but hardly this argument will be considered by deputies.
TV-3 will have to take appropriate measures, said Gerasimenko.
In his mind, the privilege to smoke in the frame should stay, only negative characters. Those not to cause any audience sympathy.
In most countries, scenes showing Smoking in a negative light. Homeless smoke, not heroes. We have smokers commandos, artists and scientists. Policies should be reviewed on television and in theaters, to have smoked the unsuccessful people in your life.
Clear-clear.
To be honest, I think such attacks officials are just trying to attract attention, as if feigning a flurry of activity. Well, okay. Still, it’s weird when a member of a Committee with your great ideas (and because it’s not only about compliance, but also using it to promote a healthy lifestyle and all that) fit into the idea of a Director like David Lynch. Here it’s surreal!
— Since when you started Smoking?
— I smoke sometimes. It helps to relieve stress.
— Since when are you so uptight?
— Since lit.

The press service of the TV-3 did these statements have not commented, so it remains to be seen whether the series is censored.
Meanwhile, the premiere of the third season will take place may 21 on Showtime channel, and the next day the first episode of “twin peaks” will be shown in Russia on TV-3.
