Well thats not quite the same. The tobacco companies have secretly for decades been amping up the lethality of smoking in the pursuit of increasing the chemical dependency of nicotine in the human body. That definitely isn't part of the deal, even if smoking is bad for you. |
All very well, but when did the first warnings appear on packets? sometime in the 70's or earlier? |
And what of the emphatic denials by the tobacco industry before congress that nicotine is addictive? Its one thing to be warned or not warned generally, but to manipulate the reality behind it in an obviously devious way and a way that is against the benefit and safety of the public is or should be illegal.
Tobacco isn't a good comparison here. They actually are bloodsucking sons of bitches.
