Nick Naylor is a charismatic spin-doctor for Big Tobacco who'll fight to protect America's right to smoke -- even if it kills him -- while still remaining a role model for his 12-year old son. When he incurs the wrath of a senator bent on snuffing out cigarettes, Nick's powers of "filtering the truth" will be put to the test.
Thank You for Smoking is a 2005 dark comedy-drama about Nick Naylor, a charismatic tobacco lobbyist who uses his considerable spin-doctoring skills to defend smoking rights while trying to be a good father to his young son. The film follows Naylor as he navigates his morally murky profession and faces off against a determined senator working to ban cigarettes. It's a sharp satire on corporate influence, media manipulation, and how persuasion can be wielded in service of almost any cause.
