I do not smoke. I can't afford the smokes in the first place, or the cancer treatment to follow up afterwords

Smoking (cigarettes) is basically legalised mass murder...

It's not the company's fault, it's the smokers fault. Marlboro isn't going around putting a gun to your head and forcing people to smoke, the people are going to stores and willingly buying their product knowing full well what it is and what it can do. It's not like that warning label on the side of the box can only be read with a magnifying glass, it takes up the whole side, so it's impossible to smoke and not be aware of the dangers.
You can make the same argument about how companies that make rope are responsible for all the suicides by hanging. Or how about someone sues Beretta for making the M9 that killed their teenage son in a gunfight, when it's clearly the owner's fault.
Doing away with tobacco companies is also one of the worst ideas I have ever heard of. Cigarette companies generate trillions of dollars in revenue each year that circulates throughout the economy, and removing them would be like removing removing your hand and then be asked to walk.
Again, it's not the company's fault that Joe Average's died of lung cancer, it's Joe's,
Message to the world: And another thing. Second hand smoking. Most people who are asked to move someplace else to smoke are more than happy to do so, just ask them nicely instead of being an elitist douche. And if they were there first, move your own damn self.
