Synopsis
Blow Me is the metaphorical story of news columnist Ashley Tray, who struggles to write for a local newspaper, nicotine-free. He is under constant stress by his boss, Mr. Cornflower, to meet his deadlines but it just isn’t the same without his sacred muse: Nicotine.
Throughout the film, he is constantly taunted by cigarette smoking characters, which are meant to represent the various brands of the cigarettes themselves. He is eventually drawn back into the world of smoking, and as result, he is able to write again. However, this causes him to lose control of his life, along with his job and his girlfriend, and in the end all he has left is addiction.
This film is a social satire on cigarette advertising that presents smoking as sexually appealing rather than the disgusting reality.
