When I was reading the about how movies affect teens in smoking behavior, I recalled the movie “Thank You for Smoking” directed by Jason Reitman.

This movie was about a tobacco industry lobbyist, Nick Naylor (Aaron Eckhart), whose job was to promote smoking cigarette, which included getting their cigarette onto the big movie screen. In the movie, what Nick told the pretty reporter why he helped tobacco industry was because of the population control.

I love Nick’s philosophy though, everyone should have that kind of philosophy (including scientists) to sell themselves and their products without losing values.
