I pay for the roads in my neighborhood through increased property taxes (A MUD tax.) That said I do understand it's a public utility and don't care all that much about people cutting through.

Interestingly enough, WAZE does not pay for those roads.

Point taken.

Should tobacco companies have any responsibility for the effects of it's products?

If the costs associated with tobacco products was born 100% by it's users, I'd agree.

However, those costs are subsidized by the public.
