Comment on Big Tobacco knew radioactive Po210 in cigarettes posed cancer risk, kept quiet
OptimusPrimeDownfall@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year agoIt’s more that tobacco companirs have put out stuff such as the ‘Frank Statement’ that stuff wasn’t dangerous when they definitely knew. The CEOs also testified before congress that smoking wasn’t dangerous then recanted later.
It’s more that congress hasn’t done anything when they get lied to. Should throw those fuckers in prison and bar them from ever owning or running a company again.

Yeah, of course tobacco is poison but they still have a duty to minimize the damage it does as much as they can

A duty to minimize the damage to their brand? I mean sure, but only to their shareholders.
They also have a duty to their fellow countrymen not to kill them, but that’s never stopped them.
