Last Week Tonight tackles Big Tobacco #JeffWeCan
I’ve known that the tobacco (aka cigarette) industry was evil incarnate since I was a teenager in the mid 1970’s. I’ve watched the movie “The Insider” a couple of times. After watching that movie I though tobacco companies had been defanged.
So I was appalled to learn that tobacco companies like Phillip Morris International (PMI) are actively suing entire countries for implementing common sense labeling laws about the danger of smoking tobacco. This excerpt from “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Tobacco” explains why I, and hopefully you, are angry. It makes me wonder why the USA does not impose the death penalty against these companies given that they are mass murderers and considered “people” by our judicial system.
