He makes thousands of dollars a year arguing publicly that smoking is safe, in spite of all the evidence that says otherwise, and he's good at it. Unfortunately, this has drawn the attention of a radical anti-smoking group who've declared that they're going to kill him.Later adapted into a movie starring Aaron Eckhart and Katie Holmes. | |

Littlest Cancer Patient | |
| Thank You for Smoking / int_d2aa7d09 | comment |
Littlest Cancer Patient: Early in the book, Nick is deliberately set up to share a talk show stage with a Littlest Cancer Patient and thus be ruined; he manages to actually get out of it with better publicity than before. | |
