The movie "Thank you for smoking" is centered around Nick Naylor, the chief spokesperson for a powerful Tobacco Lobbyist. This film includes several favorites including Aaron Eckhart, Rob Lowe, Katie Holmes, Robert Duvall, and J.K Simmons. The movie is very satirical, with him openly admitting and laughing about how harmful the Tobacco industry has been. He even has an alliance with other spokesmen for large industries like guns and alcohol to create the MOD SQUAD (Merchant of Death). He even says. "Michael Jordan plays ball. Charles Manson kills people. I talk. Everyone has a talent." He is a deceitful and amazing lobbyist, who even runs a fake anti-smoking campaign that ends up making the Tobacco industry even more profitable. But he has to balance his career with this personal life, and in particular being a positive influence on his son, who has always looked at his career in a strange way since he lives with Naylor's ex-wife mainly. Can he balance being an unpopular figure and always being attacked with wanting to be closer to his son? Watch to find out!!
