    About this ebook

    Love can be all consuming, but what happens when it is not a person you are in love with?. The Smoke Blower is a fascinating tale that tells a unique story of a quest for purpose, truth and ultimately acceptance. In 1973, the LB&B Corporation ran their global tobacco enterprise from New York and had affiliates all over the world. When Lloyd Friedman embarks on a new career, he is faced with challenges he never thought he'd have to deal with. As he is sucked into the world of corporate tobacco, it becomes evident that this may be the opportunity he has spent his entire life searching for.
