After scientists discover cigarette smoke as a great and sustainable source of energy, all of humanity, urged on by governments, takes up smoking. Lucie, allergic to smoke, is one of the few non-smokers left. When she falls in love with a professional smoker from the world's largest smoking firm, she seeks help, so she too can smoke and fit in.
