I agree with the point you are getting across, in essence. Yes people know that smoking is bad for you, how can you not. From what I remember about all the lawsuits that came back and bit the cig manufacturers in the butt is that they were knowingly putting addictive components in the cigarettes so that they could, well get people addicted to them.
Maybe some of the lawyers on here can chime in on that one.
I don't think gun manufacturers (IMHO) would pass the same litmus test. How do you say a gun is an addicitive substance? But, on the other hand, anyone can sue anyone for jsut about anything these days, so who knows.
