Poisons are everywhere - "Smoking is Harmless"

Valentina 2022-03-20 09:01:26

A war between smoking and not smoking is waged on a massive offensive in the United States. Nick on behalf of the Tobacco Association; Senator Ortolan on behalf of the anti-smoking group, the two groups are under the banner of their own opinions, and they will not kill each other.

The topic of the debate can be about whether God is the creator of the universe, human beings, and the earth? Does McDonald's need to operate 24 hours a day? The pros and cons must first collect relevant data, and then state the pros and cons at the defense conference. The words and arguments are pleasing and reasonable. , you can put things right, right and wrong.

Asked 100 people, I believe 99 people agree that smoking is harmful to health. Nick has lost his innate advantage, however, he lives in a country that values ​​human rights and freedom of speech, which is a lovely part of the country. There are a lot of smokers in the United States, and there are many parents who smoke. They have deep sympathy for the 15-year-old "Cancer Boy" who lost his hair after electrotherapy and suffered from terminal lung cancer. He quit smoking and used optimism. Mood in the face of stubborn illness. Boys don't need tobacco, even if they don't know how long they can live Customer, we want him to be alive and to keep smoking. This seems to be deviant: Do smokers smoke until they can't do anything, until their lungs are dark, and do you want to put money in the pockets of tobacco merchants for a long time? The true meaning of lobbyists is that the choice is in your hands, to be healthy Happy people, or urbanites leaning on the railings, with blue smoke rising, and sad faces? The pros and cons can be analyzed from observations, parents, friends, colleagues, and data. No one put the muzzle on the temple and said: "No I'll kill you if you do!" forced threats.

To choose which path to take, just follow the wish and the direction will open for you.

Although people around me do not smoke, second-hand smoke is still invading outdoor activities through the nostrils. The government issued a decree on January 1 this year that smoking is not allowed in restaurants and entertainment venues. Yes, the air in restaurants and restaurants is indeed a lot fresher. , but the number of smokers on the street and the number of people standing next to the rubbish bin increased, and the outdoor air was filled with the smell of smoke. Needless to say, the scourge of smoking secondhand smoke? Too much alcohol will cause liver problems, junk food is only good for its appearance, and advertising strategies have captured the consumer market, but the taste is too strong and lacks nutrition. Nick and two friends who are respectively engaged in alcohol and firearms representatives go to the restaurant every weekend to meet at the restaurant. The table is filled with creamy yellow fresh cream mango pancakes with American flags on them. Skin, he smoked the useless ointment like fat ointment, Americans can not smoke, do not drink, do not possess legal firearms, and do not eat junk food, but how many people meet the above conditions? They will always agree with the above four items One of them is related, which is the main reason why businessmen are willing to invest a lot of money to make movies and advertisements, and put up posters to promote products in subway light boxes, so they are not afraid of making money.

Senator Ortolan has cheese in his office, it's high in fat, eating too much can build up high cholesterol, clog blood vessels, and cause heart disease, he knows, however, the cheese vendor is the patron of the high-ranking officials, and he and Nick breathe through the same nostrils : One is hated by gods and ghosts, which means that there is no benefit to all products, the other is to catch the public's hatred of the public enemy, sitting above the auditorium of the hearing, questioning tobacco lobbyists with the attitude of the people's support, the outcome is unpredictable, the sponsorship of the office , glowing with oily yellow light, laughing at the gluttonous earthlings who only understand the poison of tobacco, alcohol and firearms, ignoring that eating too much junk food will harm health.

    Aaron Eckhart has a good lead

  • Braxton 2022-03-23 09:01:32

    Just a debate with the tobacco industry as the background stage. In fact, it has nothing to do with spreading smoking awareness. It can be seen from the fact that there is no smoking scene in the whole film.

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.
