To be fair, I have never called any CEO to wish them a happy birthday, im sure not many people do.
I am not supporting tobacco companies, but the truth is, they sell a product, and they are only in business as long as legally able to do so and people buy tobacco products. As cigarettes will not become illegal any time soon if ever, it comes down to people like you and I to take personal responsibility not to purchase tobacco. We cant blame the beer companies when people die by not counting their drinks, just like we shouldnt blame tobacco companies when people knowingly accept the risks in their purchase.
We are all here, including you and I, because we accept a personal responsibility to quit smoking, a personal decision that attempts to rectify any tobacco habits we had in the past.
