Mind If I Smoke?

Smoking is bad, smoking kills. The message is loud and clear. Tobacco control has become a question of public health as well as an important economic issue. Whereas for decades, the cigarette and its voluptuous smoke were considered sexy and sociable, something you offered, a way to start a conversation...today smoking is widely banned. Through interviews and rich and entertaining archive material, "Mind if I Smoke" takes us from Brooklyn to Paris via smoke-infested airplanes to explore the real issues in relation to tobacco, in a society that passes laws in order to better control our health.
