As a smoker myself I do not think that tobacco companies should be held responsible for my habit. I know the harm that smoking can do and yet I choose to smoke.
Where I have a problem is if a person is not informed or lied to about the dangers of smoking. Let me make it clear, this is not our parents generation of the 1920's, 30's 40's, and 50's where issues like this were covered up. It is 2011 and if you don't know that smoking is bad for you, you must be living under a rock.
Tobacco companies are in the business of making money just like any other business in America. If you are against smoking than don't smoke. There are so many frivilous lawsuits these days. You can sue if someone looks at you the wrong way.
Smokers are treated like second class citizens. They have been pushed out the door of restaurants, bars, and country clubs. If someone wants to smoke that is their right. Please if you are a smoker don't become spineless when you get a smoking related disease and sue the tobacco companies. You knew the risks. Buck Up!!!!
