Nick Naylor is just a regular guy trying to earn a living. In these neo-puritani
cal times, it's a challenge to defend the rights of smokers and a privilege to p
romote their liberty. Sure, it hurts a little when you're compared to Nazi war c
riminals, but Nick's just doing what it takes to pay the mortgage and put his so
n through school.
As chief propagandist for the tobacco industry he can handl
e the insults from the antismoking zealots, but death threats are a different ma
tter. Someone wants to prove just how hazardous smoking can be - and if Nick isn
't careful, he's going to be stubbed out.
