Yes, they did. Probably just tobacco companies alone.

A response as silly as it was predictable. Show me a Gulag Archipelago written about the tobacco industry and we'll have some grounds for further discussion.

Since corporations are creatures of government, that's true by definition of everything corporations do.

Ditto.

At some point, you'll come to understand that not every debate can be reduced to an exercise in moral relativism and dismissed with a flourish of false equivalence.

That works well enough on HN, as seen in the moderation in this thread, but not in real life.
