1. How does consumerism play a role in "Thank You for Smoking" ?
2. What does the statement "Tobacco takes care of it's own", mean to you? How does that theme play into the underlying theme of the book?
3. Product placement is key in most films, books, etc. Think about all the different products you have seen in the last three movies. What were they? Did they reflect the views and trends of current societal standards?
