After nearly a year in gestation, a TV follow-up to the indie Thank You for Smoking will call USA Network home, says Variety. The TV adaptation, which likely will light up under a different title, picks up where the film left off, with spin doctor Nick Naylor (played on film by Aaron Eckhart) using his mad skillz to benefit those more deserving of aid.
