The title is very attractive, but the content of the film does not have a smoking scene. Nick, the protagonist of the film, is a spokesperson for the tobacco industry, and he develops various plots through debates with state legislators who intend to ban smoking.
Talk about what truly free independent thinking is through Nick's short but brilliant lesson for elementary students.
Through the plot of Nick and the film makers, showing some sources of the film, the popular factor, let us look at the popularity more objectively.
Through the plot of Nick and a few "best friends" getting together once a week, it is expressed that people always have a few close friends or "tiger friends", so that they are not alone.
Through a series of shots of Nick and sexy well-known reporters, it shows the dark side of the journalist industry in some countries, and on the other hand, it shows Nick's amazing courage and eloquence, and it gives us a deep understanding of what "news" may look like.
Through a series of lenses of state legislators, the dark side of politics is shown, and some politics are just a trick of some money earners to deceive taxpayers, but few people think so.
Through a series of conversations between Nick and his son, a father's deepest love for his son is shown. There are many scenes of Nick driving a child in the film. The child is lying on the window and looking out, seems to be thinking about a very deep problem. It's not about money, it's about whether or not your children grow up happy enough.
