[QUOTE="easysat, post: 112647, member: 175305"] I can't really see that the complainant has a leg to stand-on. The dangers of smoking were well known to the general public in 1972 whether or not warnings were included on the packets. Anyone who chose to start smoking from the sixties onwards really has no grounds for complaining when they become ill. Part of being a grown-up, is accepting responsibility for your own choices. That said, it is hard to think of another product which is legally on sale that kills a third or more of its consumers. Would the government allow mobile phones or a garden weedkiller to be on sale if they killed even 1% of its users? [/QUOTE]
