Our physician advocates at work. Don’t they have better things to focus on?
Dianne Fenyk, president of the advocacy group, A.M.A. Alliance, is particularly infuriated because General Ross did not smoke in “Hulk,” the 2003 film directed by Ang Lee, though he always smoked in the comic books. Moreover, the editor of Marvel Comics and the film’s star, Mr. Norton, have both previously criticized portrayals of smoking in popular culture, Ms. Fenyk said.

Gotta be careful about trusting the NYT. The AMA Alliance is the AMA associated advocacy group made up of spouses of AMA physician members.
The point is, there are no physicians quoted in that story denouncing The Incredible Hullk for its portrayal of smoking. Probably because the physicians actually do have better things to do.
