Nick’s only work purpose and focus is to keep talking about persuading others to smoke, persuading all kinds of public welfare, health, government organizations and individuals that oppose smoking and try to block the profits of the tobacco industry. The point of view he wants to express and the position he insists on is: "We must put all kinds of pros and cons before people, but in the end we feel that whether it is harmful and whether to smoke should be a personal choice, and other people should not interfere."
Nick has two close friends in life. They are Polly who speaks for the alcoholic beverage industry and Bobby who speaks for the gun industry. Although the endorsements of products are different, they are both "life-damaging" things. So they The self-proclaimed M.·.D. trio (arms manufacturers), gather together every weekend, eat junk food in the restaurant, while exchanging eccentricities at work, and at the same time make suggestions and exchange ideas with each other.

All kinds of skills have made Nick famous, and he has also attracted the attention of tobacco industry giants and Washington Daily reporters.

    Quite an interesting PR case, the lines sharp, and the character setting is interesting. Although it seems to be promoting cigarettes, there is no scene of a person smoking in the whole play.

Thank You for Smoking quotes

  • Nick Naylor: [Narrating] Few people on this planet know what it is to be truly despised. Can you blame them? I earn a living fronting an organizing that kills one thousand two hundred human beings a day; twelve hundred people. We're talking two jumbo jet plane loads of men, women, and children. I mean there's Attila, Genghis, and me, Nick Naylor the face of cigarettes, the colonel sanders of nicotine. This is where I work, the Academy of Tobacco Studies. It was established by seven gentlemen you may recognize from C-Span. These guys realized quick if they were gonna claim cigarettes were not addictive they better have proof. This is the man they rely on, Erhardt Von Grupten Mundt. They found him in Germany. I won't go into the details. He's been testing the link between nicotine and lung cancer for thirty years, and hasn't found any conclusive results. The man's a genius, he could disprove gravity. Then we got our sharks. We draft them out of Ivy League law schools and give them timeshares and sports cars. It's just like a John Grisham novel. Well you know without all the espionage. Most importantly we got spin control. That's where I come in. I get paid to talk. I don't have an MD or law degree. I have a baccalaureate in kicking ass and taking names. You know that guy who can pick up any girl, I'm him on crack.

  • Polly Bailey: [in a restaurant, referring to Heather] You didn't tell her about us, did you?

    Nick Naylor: Who? Heather? No!... I mean, maybe in passing.

    Polly Bailey: In passing.

    Bobby Jay Bliss: Oh God, he fucked her. I tried to warn you...

    Polly Bailey: Hey, he didn't fuck her. You didn't fuck her, did you?

    [Nick doesn't answer]

    Polly Bailey: When?

    Bobby Jay Bliss: In passing.
