Thank You For Smoking is a satirical movie featuring a cast of tobacco industry characters including a mass murderer, pimp, profiteer, and bloodsucker. The Ulster Foundation, UCF, a cancer charity, would like everyone to go see this movie when it comes to town.

According to Ulster Cancer Foundation's Gerry McElwee, ''For over 30 years UCF has been lobbying for stronger tobacco control measures and informing people about the dangers of smoking. This film shows, in a very clever way, how the tobacco industry deals in ill health and death and is expertly skilled in spin and double talk.

The film works so well because it uses dark comedy to highlight the reality of the tobacco industry – the importance of making money. I think it's fair to say that few smokers realize the multi-billion dollar industry their habit is feeding. I wish Thank You for Smoking had been made years ago because it highlights the lengths that tobacco companies will go to, to promote their products.''

I must confess I haven't seen the movie starring Sam Elliott, Katie Holmes, Rob Lowe, William H. Macy and Robert Duvall yet, but I did find Thank You For Smoking director Jason Reitman's blog, the Thank You For Smoking website with movie trailer, and the Thank You For Smoking blogroll & spin contests.
