Author Description

Nick Naylor, a lobbyist for the tobacco industry, and his two fellow "Merchants of Death" (lobbyists for the liquor and gun industries) are facing difficult times in the neo-puritanical '90s in this hilarious send-up of political correctness and business-as-usual inside the beltway. Screenwriter/director Jason Reitman adapted THANK YOU FOR SMOKING into a 2006 film starring Aaron Eckhart as Nick.
