∙ 12y agoi think smoking companies should be responsible for smoking related deaths if something was wrong with the smokes eg. food poisoning dangerous chemicals or different ingredients then the nutritional information says. if it was meant to do the amount of damage or it was because the guy had too many smokes the company didn't do anything wrong and people should not be angry because that's what happens when you do not do the right thing and smoke. you die. end of story.
Where does it end... Blame liquor companies because people drink too much. Let's sue "Twinkies" who knew sugar makes you fat? What?... you can lose money at a casino??
You cannot protect people from themselves...

Should tobacco companies be responsible for their customers actions?
They do not have any responsibility for their customer because the customers made the decision to smoke. So since they want the tobacco they can take everything that comes with it. People hear about tobacco uses and how they affect your body but apparently they don't listen so they can not hold any tobacco company responsible for deaths or and diseases that come with smoking. I agree with the above whole heartedly. They are selling a legal product, and the buyer should be accepting all the liabilities associated with that product, or not buy the product in the first place. An analogy to this scenario ... I buy a lawnmower from Frimfratz Company, and it accidentally cuts off my big toe ... so Frimfratz Company is then responsible for everyone that loses their big toe? Hardly.
