Lawsuit for the Smokes

I understand that smoking is harmful for your health and it is very addictive. What I don't think should be done is people sueing the cigarette companies for their spouse or for themselves not being able to kick the habit. Sure it was the cool thing to do 20 years ago.

It isn't the cigarette companies fault that you keep ingesting nicotine into your system. It's not like they're holding a gun to your head and forcing you to do it. It is like sueing McDonalds for getting fat because you're too damn lazy to cook your own food and instead rely on the greasy fatty quickness of Big Macs and super size fries.

In this day and age where it costs an arm and a leg to even get a pack of cigarettes, there is no excuse for your own bad behavior. I am so tired of people not taking responsibility for their own action. Got lung cancer? That's your own damn fault for choosing to smoke chemicals.

Of course, there are the second hand smokers and for them...go ahead and sue if you'd like. It isn't your fault that you are made to ingest toxic fumes, however, if it is gotten from frequenting smoky places...that is your own damn fault for putting your health at risk. So own up and quit crying.
