Michael Mann: When we were doing Insider, we would write every morning at the Broadway Deli. And the reason was that we’re both heavy smokers and they had just started anti-smoking legislation in restaurants, but you could still smoke in bars. So the Broadway Deli happened to have a bar in the morning, so we’d be sitting there in the morning for three hours smoking and all this stuff. And then about three or four weeks before we started shooting, I said, “I’ve really got to stop, because what I’ll do is, once I start shooting I’ll get up to three packs a day.” So we both decided that we would stop.
Eric Roth: Well, the only thing I disagree with is, this is kind of after the movie, because we were during the movie smoking in the biggest anti-tobacco lawyers’ offices in America.
Mann: Right, everything was about the evils of big tobacco and corporate manipulation and legal manipulation and ruining people’s lives all because of cigarettes which were addictive and destroyed your health. That was the subject matter.
Roth: We decided we better stop this because we were dying. We decided to go to a hypnotist. And so Michael went in first for, I don’t know, an hour and a half, whatever it was, and then I followed. And then we agreed to meet afterwards, I think at a Starbucks. And Michael said, “It worked. I’m done.” I said, “I hated the guy’s voice.”

Pretty much any Michael Mann film can be described as: "the masculine urge to fuck your entire life up".
I refuse to elaborate any further.
