Hardback. Zustand: Fair. Nick Naylor likes his job. In the neo-puritanical nineties, it's a challenge to defend the rights of smokers and a privilege to promote their liberty. Sure, it hurts a little when you're compared to Nazi war criminals, but Nick says he's just doing what it takes to pay the mortgage and put his son through Washington's elite private school St. Euthanasius. He can handle the pressure from the antismoking zealots, but he is less certain about his new boss, BR, who questions whether Nick is worth $150,000 a year to fight a losing war. Under pressure to produce results, Nick goes on a PR offensive. But his heightened notoriety makes him a target for someone who wants to prove just how hazardous smoking can be. If Nick isn't careful, he's going to be stubbed out.…

Thank You for Smoking was adapted into a movie written and directed by Jason Reitman. It was released on 17 March 2006." Derived from a Kirkus review: Buckley displays an appetite for current affairs and a talent for converting some of America's social issues into light comedy. Thank You for Smoking chronicles Nick Naylor, chief propagandist for the tobacco industry and personally despised by cancer victims, the medical profession, talk show audiences, and most of Capitol Hill. Naylor's two best friends are equally maligned scapegoats, spokespeople for the alcohol and firearms industries respectively. Naylor's problem is that he is good at what he does; a matchless adversary on talk show debates, he deflates opponents with charisma and finesse. When he is kidnapped by militants who cover him with nicotine patches, he becomes an instant hero and hounded by the press. As his fame increases, he hobnobs with Oprah Winfrey, Today show stars, and caricatures of familiar movie brokers and politicians. The FBI seems to think the abduction was a publicity stunt and has evidence to prove it. Marc Burckhardt (Jacket Illustration) (illustrator).…
