There is a difference Dan. Years ago when a massive advertising campaign existed the cigarette companies misrepresented their product over and over to the point where hundreds of thousand of smokers died yearly.

In the drug business we don't see magazine radio or tv ads for pot smokers,coke users or heroine users,quite a difference.The dangers there are well know to the average user.

Not so with the tobacco situation in the earl days which is what the piece was about.

The dangers of Cigarette smoking were WELL advertised starting in the 1960's.

You are free to pass the buck.

The Liquor commercials are back by popular demand.

Fentanill and other drugs are heavily used, try walking the sunny streets of San Francisco - you will be hard pressed to find "responsibility". you will find many panhandling, all those poor, poor victims

A simple search on the internet

Warning labels first appeared on U.S. cigarette packs in 1965, and current warning labels that feature a small box with text were put on cigarette packs in the mid-1980s.
