Nice response. Try sticking to the facts instead of name calling.
Again, in this country who doesn’t know that smoking is bad for you? How many times a week are we bombarded with this message? Every activity has risks, driving, walking even eating. Accept them or don’t do the activity. Shall I arrange for a personal boy scout to help you cross the street?
…people might as well sue the estate of Lucille Ball, someone who promoted smoking in tv commercials, along with Dick Van Dyke and others (even the Flintstones). Maybe I shouldn’t post this; lawyers might get more ideas on how to fleece American society.
While I hate lawsuits like this (you know personal responsibility, etc), I love the fact that judgements like this just make the price of cigarettes go higher. That’s not such a bad thing is it?
Right, Plymm: only you get to be obnoxious and make personal attacks. So typical of the phony “personal responsibiilty” crowd. Please don’t bother learning anything about the basis of the lawsuits or the verdict; that might result in thinking, and I’m sure that would cause your brain to hemmorhage.
if you want to go that route, why not sue the movie industry, because how many movies were there that had always had someone smoking a cigarette or cigar to show coolness. the tobacco industry was truly getting a free publicity. but it’s not their fault that folks choose and again emphasize that word choose to smoke.
problem, is that society does not want to accept personal responsiblity. it’s always someone else’s fault.
