Last time I promise!
Okay, so I'm writing a report on Thank You for Smoking, and I have pinpointed four things that the main character did to discuss in my paper. Would you please tell me if what I have is correct? I'm not sure how trustworthy some of my sources were, and I'm having trouble finding better ones.
His first major offense was talking to minors about smoking when he went in to Parent’s Day at his son’s school. He does tell them that rather than believe what everyone tells them, they should find out for themselves. Although this is highly unethical, it is not illegal as Nick doesn’t actually tell the children in Joey’s class that they should smoke or its okay to smoke.
Next, he was sent to bribe Lorne Lutch with a large amount of money if he would stop speaking against tobacco. This is not technically illegal. Of course, the Academy said it never intended the money to be a bribe, just a gift. This would be illegal if Lutch was a public official, but he wasn’t.
