Ok- Please keep in mind as you read this that, though trying desperately to quit, I am currently a smoker and yet this still pisses me off royally. The Supreme Court (USA) has voted to allow smokers to sue tobacco companies for deceiving them by labeling cigarette brands “light.”

WTF? Did you think they’d just give you a little cancer? Now that you could potentially get a lot of cancer you want the right to sue? Granted, the ruling means that smokers have the right to sue, but winning their cases will be an arduous battle as they will have to prove that the companies violated the state deceptive practices statute. So yes, I do understand that it isn’t a free pass for smokers but it does mean that the courts will now be clogged with lawsuits by asshats that should know better! I’m sorry folks- this isn’t the 1950’s when next to nothing is known about the health risks of smoking. You knew damn well what the consequences could be when you decided to spark up and now that you see a chance for a quick cash grab, you’re all screaming that they’ve “done you wrong.” It’s fucking ridiculous! Smoking kills- it’s a pretty extensively documented fact! If you honestly thought that smoking a light cigarette was fine then you are simply stupid beyond repair. I guess this means that if someone drinks & drives while drinking light beer, they can sue if the inevitable occurs, right?

It’s called responsibility for your own actions people. TAKE SOME!
