First time I don't mind seeing a large corporation cutting jobs. I kind of hope this is a sign the whole industry is in trouble. On another note, do you think the people who work at tobacco companies feel bad about themselves or do they not mind killing people?

People working at tobacco companies are most likely doing what’s necessary to feed their families. I think it’s possible to disagree with an industry’s products while recognizing that most employees are just people trying to earn a living…

Tobacco companies deliberately got smokers addicted. If you know anything about addiction, you would know it's not a choice. And cigarettes have no worthwhile purpose, while cars to.
They told my father AND the courts that there was "no causal evidence" that smoking is bad for everyone's health. My lifelong asthma is a result of both parents smoking and then older siblings smoking in the house constantly.
My sister was able to kick her cocaine addiction but could never kick her cigarette addiction. Those companies market to kids and always have -- years ago it was by convincing kids that it's "cool" to smoke (are you old enough to remember Joe Camel?), and now with fruity-flavored vapes. They absolutely do not give AF about their victims and are recruiting new ones all the time.

I couldn't be happier if that entire f-ing industry died. Those companies are lying murderers.

I think people's views vary. Some separate the role from the product, while others prefer to work for organisations whose purpose aligns more closely with their own values.
