re: #188 Sharmuta

When will junk food be held to this standard? When will life be held to this standard?

The fact is there are a lot of unhealthy decisions people can make for themselves in a free society. They are free to do so whether do-gooders like it or not.

My problem is when people who later don’t like the decision they freely made think they can hold someone else accountable for their bad decisions. It’s called personal responsibility.

So then you agree that the tobacco companies are being unfairly victimized here, that they ought not be held responsible for the bad decisions of their customers? You are saying it’s the smokers’ fault, it’s their personal responsibility — not the fault of the advertisers or the manufacturers.
