Thank You For Smoking & Ninjas


Saw the movie "Thank You For Smoking" yesterday which was actually quite good. Comparing it to "American Dreamz" (which was showing at the same theater and I had just seen a few weeks ago), I surprisingly enjoyed it more. Fast-paced, makes fun of its self, plus a great bit by Sam Elliott as a lung cancer-ridden Marlboro Man. My only knock is that I thought Katie (sorry, Kate) Holmes part was not very good.

Oh yeah, and since I already pointed out the medical errors in Mission Impossible: 3, I might as well do the same for Thank You For Smoking. First off, while I certainly do not endorse smoking in any age group and certainly not teenagers, smoking does not really cause cancer in young people as suggested in the show. In addition, the scene where Nick Naylor gets kidnapped, plastered with about six dozen nicotine patches, and barely survives, he is told by his doctor that smoking even one cigarette could cause him to develop paralysis and kill him...well, let's just say it's hard to envision a physiologic explanation for that. Maybe I should try a similar lie to my patients to get them to quit...
