Christopher Columbus lands in the New World and encounters a Native American smoking on the beach. What do you suppose he s doing? he asks. His lieutenant observes, He s drawing in the smoke and blowing it out again. He seems to enjoy it. Columbus reply: Doesn t that just prove how backward they are? You d never see a civilized man doing a thing like that. Five hundred years later the question is being asked again. The Last Cigarette uses a compilation of Hollywood clips, vintage cigarette commercials, anti-smoking scare-films, Congressional battle-footage, smoking esoterica and much more to examine how we got from there to here. It casts a satirical eye on the notably uncivilized tactics employed by both sides in today s smoking wars. Extras: Scene Selections/ Trailer
