Yeah for sure, I think that lobbying having infiltrated our politics is the issue here. Corporate influence/greed is what keeps these concerns from being addressed.

Also Philip Morris (at least the parent company) is now called Altria

Right. People at large are not really aware of the severity and expanse of own vulnerabilities -- addiction, coginitive bias etc. Or are even unwilling to seriously think through that angle.

This seems to call for a balance of perspectives and responsibilities. Partly similar is probably the case of traffic safety: driver's vigilance and responsibility has to be matched with sound regulation of all transportation profiteers.
