Detailed item info
Synopsis
Nick Naylor, a lobbyist for the tobacco industry, and his two fellow "Merchants of Death" (lobbyists for the liquor and gun industries) are facing difficult times in the neo-puritanical '90s in this hilarious send-up of political correctness and business-as-usual inside the beltway. Screenwriter/director Jason Reitman adapted THANK YOU FOR SMOKING into a 2006 film starring Aaron Eckhart as Nick.

Publisher's Note
The much-acclaimed, wickedly funny bestseller that pits Nick Taylor, chief spokesman for The Academy of Tobacco Studies, against an increasingly self-righteous, anti-smoking society.
This much-acclaimed, wickedly funny bestseller by the author of The White House Mess pits Nick Taylor, chief spokesman for the Academy of Tobacco Studies, against an increasingly self-righteous, anti-smoking society. "The superior goofball plot, raffish cast and zany sex scenes . . . make this the funniest of Buckley's books".--Time.

Industry reviews
"A mystery, a political drama, and a social satire in one, 'Thank You for Smoking' comes as a breath of refreshingly polluted air at a time when life in America has, in many ways, become oppressively clinical. Through the increasingly political issue of smoking, it examines the self-righteousness and hypocrisy of the present-day thought police with a sense of humour and an educated reserve."
Literary Review - Cosima von Bulow (07/01/1995)

"The perfect antidote to the 1990's. Buy yourself a pack of Camels, a cocktail shaker, and a nine-millimeter assault weapon. Read this. Then laugh."
P. J. O'Rourke 

"Buckley takes aim at political correctness and incorrectness alike in this gleefully venomous sendup of Washington's 'sin' lobbyists."
New Yorker  

"Buckley is a smoother, funnier and more refined heir apparent to Art Buchwald's throne, and this book cements his position as the best up-and-coming political satirist on the lierary map." (starred review)
 (03/28/1994)

"[A] savagely funny new satirical farce."
 (06/23/1994)
