It's a vicious circle, and one that shows them for the fools they are.

The anti's talk out of both sides of their mouths.

Just like Phillip Morris. They still make and sell cigarettes, then they spend big bucks on that TV Ad for everyone to quit smoking and how bad it is for us.

They are huge hypocrites!

I wondered if they were airing those ads because either (1) the government made them do it or (2) their lawyers suggested they do it.

Even if that's not the case, I wouldn't call them hypocrites. They're selling a product that some people want. If they want to give potential customers the chance to make a fully-informed decision, that's not necessarily hypocritical. That's just free enterprise.
