NO. People may believe that smoking kills you, and it can, but they make their own choice to smoke. If there is a death caused by smoking, there realy isn't anyone to blame except the smoker his/herself. Lay off the companies, but if there's no Surgeon General warning on the advertisement, then you may have a case there.

-Actually, they try their hardest to get around that law. They make the labels as small as possible so it can't be easily seen.

∙ 12y agoNo they shouldn't they only make and market the product. If people are weak minded enough to smoke then it is their own fault if they get ill because of it. I myself am a smoker and taker full responsibility on myself for my actions. Blaming the tobacco companies for this would be as silly as blaming mcdonalds for making people overweight.
