The movie “thank you for smoking” is about a man, Nick Naylor, that defends the rights of the smokers. Nick being the protagonist of the tail, suffers a moral crisis because of his work so he begins to question what is the right thing to do, if he should leave the company or if he should stay.
At the beginning of the movie, the tabaco companies where having some problems with the government because they wanted to create a special package showing the danger that the product does. Nick didn’t agree about this, but the government said that young kids where buying tabaco and that wasn’t right. However, Nick wanted to place the tabaco brand in movies as part of the company publicity and because of this, reporters attack the tabaco company and Nick as being the defender of the company argued that the product is what it is and if someone wanted to buy it or not they had the right to decide.
Later on, Nick start to question what is the right thing to do when he found out that the man that represented his tabaco company years ago almost died because of smoking and also that the company didn’t pay his treatment.
