I once was a chain smoker. I smoked 5 packs a day, 7 days a week, 12 months a year.
22 years ago I quit “cold turkey” because my breathing was so affected by it that I could hardly breathe and had to do something or else the future really, really looked bad. So I quit.
It took a long time, but after 22 years, my breathing has recovered NATURALLY by about 80% and I really feel fine. Better yet, the house and car don’t reek with the smell of smoke.
The point is: I knew of the risks from the start. As time went on those risks were promoted by all means and the warnings were clear. I clearly dismissed all warnings and kept on smoking.
Amazingly, I don’t have lung cancer but if I did, I sure as hell would not sue the makers of cigarettes. That’s kind of like filing a lawsuit on GOD because he caused someone to drive through a “low water crossing” and drowned.
Thanks to the “Legal Industry” personal responsibility equals someone else is responsible for your delima....not you. You are not held accountable for anything any longer...someone or something else caused it.
They weren’t called “Coffin Nails” 70+ years ago for nothing.
