This film gives the straight scoop on the history of the tobacco industry’s rise in America and more importantly, how it maintained its level of success by wantonly jeopardizing the health of millions. No punches are pulled in this powerful expose. It captures the essence of the recent tobacco controversy by establishing the history of obfuscation and misrepresentation practiced by big tobacco. Brilliant marketing and advertising, a stranglehold on Congress and the world’s most addictive product make for a dangerous combination.
