thank you for smoking

Watched a rather brilliant movie last night called Thank you for smoking about a charismatic pro-smoking lobbyist. I was captivated by the opening credits created by shadow play studio. It is a celebration of tobacco products and their packaging. If you love anything to do with typography this will be interesting to you. What is great is that the cartons appear to be in chronological order so you see the older packaging first. It is interesting to see use of typeface and how it differed throughout different decades.
