Thank You for Smoking

Nick Naylor's job isn't easy. He should lobby for smoking as much as possible. It would seem absurd to come into conflict with ardent opponents of smoking and try to prove the usefulness of the latter. But that's Nick's job. And he's done a lot of it, agitating for smoking on TV talk shows and promoting cigarettes in movies. However, Nick himself never considered smoking as a useful activity. He's spinning cigarettes to have something to live on and raise his son.
