The influence of films

In a characteristically charming interview, Govinda says that films do not influence people to smoke. He says:
It is absurd to state that smoking scenes in movies promote smoking. There are no facts to prove this. No research or market survey has been conducted regarding this. Films show murders too, have people started murdering each other?
But wait, films do influence people in good ways. About his forthcoming film, Sukh (Happiness), he says:
It will help in reducing divorce rates and improve sour relations among quarrelsome husbands and wives. It is a big entertainer.
He's a fine man, he is.
