Accountability is for things that you're conscious of. Isn't less car related deaths and injuries a good thing?

Also, with your associative costs.. How much does the smoking industry cost the government from all the health problems it causes. You can't pick and choose. Like I said, if they showed some consistency in their regulations I would be more open minded about it. Tobacco lobby > human safety, is not justification for it's legality when compared to other risky behavior.
Ja, I definitely don't value things that way but it the tobacco lobby certainly explains the disparity.

Isn't it wiser to look at it case by case?
