Smithee, I agree on the perjury and obstruction charges against the executives. Knowing a little bit about addiction, I don't think that it matters in 90% of the cases what the industry executives did or who they targeted, or even if they printed cancerous lungs on the cigarette pack, the people who wanted to, or were compelled to smoke, would still do it. Whereas I agree that the tobacco industry's actions were egregious, I am not sure how much of their actions were part of a causal relationship. JXM
