malaki ata net profit sa yosi ng mga manufrs..nagbayad na ng bilyones sa health damages..naglagay na ng kung ano-anong warning!! sa packaging..smoke banning in public places..alang nangyayari..

bottomline is: ang paninigarilyo benefit business, govt coffers, human cravings..nakakamatay man siya secondary nalang 'yon..at worse, claim lawyers can handle it for the corporations..:sad:

That's my point. If we know that t kills us why do we still let it loose? We don't get support naman from tobacco companies if we die from smoking.

Well... it is the people's choice if they want to get killed by smoking or not. No one is stoping them from not smoking.

Much like anything out there in the market... too much fatty food can give you a heart attack... too much alcohol can cause your liver to fail...

Basta hwag lang mangdamay mga naninigarilyo. Smoke in smoking rooms only.
