i dont think so- yes some illnes and death is terrible but its an option to chew or smoke tobacco. holding them responsible is like crying when the fire burns you-- it was your choice to play with the fire.

∙ 12y agoYes. They should be at least! They probably know that it is killing people based on what we have known for quite some time now. So if they are going to continue to make ciggarets and junk with tabacco, it is like they are saying, "Come on! Everyone else is killing themselves with these! You should, too!" They should be held responsible.

∙ 13y agoI don't believe so. They are selling a product that is clearly labelled as a health risk. The consumer is informed and fully aware of the risk that they are taking by utilizing the product. If tobacco companies were held liable than that would open the door for many other lawsuits such as; alcohol producers, manufacturers of guns, ammunition, automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, ect. The list is endless. If a person uses tobacco products, that is their choice and they are ultimately responsible for the negative consequences. I doubt that there is a single adult in the US that is unaware of the health risks involved.
