I have noticed that real discussion on Civic has all but ceased. In that regard, I would really like to hear from people on this particular issue. Specifically, is this a free speech issue? Or does it touch on "incitement?" What should (or shouldn't) be done re animal rights groups that border (if not cross the line) into a form of eco-terrorism?

By DAVID KOCIENIEWSKI

Thank You For Smoking opens March 17th

Nick Naylor, chief spokesman for Big Tobacco, makes his living defending the rights of smokers and cigarette makers in today's neo-puritanical culture. Confronted by health zealots and an opportunistic senator, Nick goes on a PR offensive, spinning away the dangers of cigarettes.
