        I assume the were couple of interesting insights in the movie. First is that you shouldn't just deign to work but do the best you can sooner or later you’ll show great results.

        Elaborate on main idea:
        It was such a fascinating video to watch, explained a lot about tobacco industry. At the beginning the reporter showed real UK figures which illustrate that people are cutting down on smoking though the tobacco industry continues blooming.
