> Cigarette companies are not liable for their user’s choice to consume them.

They kind of were. Not completely liable, but partially. Because... um, well, uh, yeah, they are. They are literally liable.

If you produce cigarettes, you are partially responsible for people smoking. Smoking is also not a "choice", come on now. The only people who believe that are people trying to sell you cigarettes or people who have never smoked.

That's why you can't advertise cigarettes anywhere anymore and they're very hard to find. And, when you do find them, the box tells you "hey please don't smoke this". R.J. Reynolds didn't do that by fucking choice, we forced them.
