"'ll bet that no cigarette company actually shoved a cigarette in anyone's mouth"

They don't shove them in you mouth they just told you they were not harmful or addictive and gave them away free to kids to get them addicted which is exactly what they knew would happen. They targeted their advertising toward kids and adjusted nicotine amounts to guarantee addiction.

"Cars kill people, but do they rant and rave about car manufacturers?"

Perhaps you don't remember the book, "Unsafe at any Speed", by one named Ralph Nader. Do you remember cars without seat belts, air bags, cushioned dash boards, collapsible steering wheels, shatterproof glass, turn signals, rear tail lights, crash resistant bumpers, gas tank protection, etc etc....

"Kids die in swimming pools, but do they want to shut down pool makers.."

No but they have mandated safety screens over exit holes in pools, fences around pools, electrical codes, etc etc... You unaware of these things?

"t is impossible to protect people from themselves."

That's horse crap!!! That's what all of the above requirements do and do well.....
