Thank You for Smoking
Nobody blows smoke like Nick Naylor. He’s a spokesman for the Academy of Tobacco Studies-in other words, a flack for cigarette companies, paid to promote their product on talk and news shows. The problem? He’s so good at his job, so effortlessly unethical, that he’s become a target for both anti-tobacco terrorists and for the FBI. In a country where half the people want to outlaw pleasure and the other want to sell you a disease, what will become of the original Puff Daddy?

Reviews
The quintessential political novelist of our time.
Buckley's caricatures of Washington politics, corporate power plays, media spin control, Hollywood pretensions and the human foibles of self-delusion and denial are appallingly right on the money.
Hilarious.
Seriously funny . . . Forget apple pie. [Buckley's] novel is as American as pork barrels and public relations.
A savagely funny satirical farce. . . . produces moments that make you laugh out loud at their inspired absurdity.
The superior goofball plot, raffish cast and zany sex scenes make this the funniest of Buckley's books.
