A sharp, dark comedy that exposes the art of manipulation in the tobacco industry and beyond.

In Thank You for Smoking, Aaron Eckhart plays Nick Naylor, a smooth-talking lobbyist for Big Tobacco who defends cigarettes at all costs.

With his charm, wit, and mastery of persuasion, Naylor:

✔️ Spins tobacco’s deadly reputation into a debate about “freedom of choice”
✔️ Battles public health advocates and anti-smoking activists on talk shows
✔️ Strategizes with the “MOD Squad” – fellow lobbyists from the alcohol & firearms industries
✔️ Tries to make smoking cool again by getting cigarettes back into Hollywood films
✔️ Struggles with his own moral dilemmas, especially as a single father raising a curious son

With a mix of satire, humor, and biting social commentary, the film brilliantly exposes how industries manipulate public opinion, using marketing, politics, and carefully crafted rhetoric to protect their profits.
