Macy Hits Out At No-smoking Policy.WILLIAM H MACY jumped at the chance to star in THANK YOU FOR SMOKING, because he could use the film to vent his anger against the non-smoking policy in many US states.The FARGO star plays a US senator jumping on the anti-smoking bandwagon to further his own political career in the JASON REITMAN movie. While Macy is an ex-smoker himself, he strongly believes that people have the right to make their own minds up whether they can or can't light up.Macy says, "There are lots of people in this country who smoke and I think it's getting crazy."The next thing you know, you're going to have to leave the state of California to have a smoke."It's totally crazy and I'm still unsure whey the government is trying to legislate brains into us when anybody who smokes knows it's stupid. I mean, there's better ways to kill yourself. Don't you think?".
