This blackly comic satire exposes the hypocrisy and greed at the heart of the American tobacco industry and the amoral world of the spin doctor. Nick Naylor is a lobbyist for the cigarette companies, and he’s very good at his job - even at a time when everyone knows just how bad smoking is for your health. He comes up against a dedicated politician who wants to replace the health warning on cigarette packets with a skull and crossbones, and attempts to woo a Hollywood agent into making smoking in the movies cool again. But Nick’s smooth facade begins to crumble after an attractive young newspaper reporter writes a scathing piece on him.
