High Score Manga Artist Chinami Tsuyama Says Cigarettes Now Banned in Ribon

Code:

High Score manga artist Chinami Tsuyama wrote on Twitter on March 15 that there will no longer be any scenes in her manga where characters hold cigarettes due to tightening restrictions in the shojo magazine Ribon. In the same tweet, she also mentioned that three years ago she had been told not to make any cigarettes she drew emit smoke, and even then she was taken aback by how tight the restrictions were. ............. She also noted that although cigarettes have been banned, her editors have allowed her to depict other things that would be considered risque in a magazine for young girls, like showing a male character dressed only in his underwear proposing to a girl in a theme park.

I found this rather extreme. Do you think publishers should be controlling what writers/artists are including in their stories? If so, to what extent?
