The societal impact of these things cant be ignored. "Omg hitler smoked" is a shit argument when most of these companies are american made.

When I lived in Italy and was waiting for a bus in the morning there were crowds upon crowds of children smoking. So whose fault exactly is that?


their parents.

The societal impact can be addressed by a representative republic or a no-holds-barred communist dictatorship.

My prior post stands: Capitalism is a way of organizing your economy. Socialism is a way of organizing your government.

Only a socialist would make a topic like this and NOT make it a poll. It would be too difficult to see the results, I think.

While thier parents certainly hold partial blame for falling for the aggressive, predatory advertising. If that aggressive, predatory advertising didnt exist theyd have nothing to fall for.

I personally dont give a fuck if people smoke, drink, and shoot themselves to death. But trying to sit around and paint the manufacturers of these products as some kind of cardinals working directly under the pope is rediculous. And instead of actually fucking regulating something properly in this country, we work under the same, "Nah its fine. What could possibly go wrong?" Rulebook for that advertising that we do with everything else.

Ok, you think that tobacco corporations are not for profit?


What I know is that tobacco companies have existed in communist and non-communist societies alike.

It would be a biased poll that only serves as a +1
