No reason to single out the tobacco industry. Big money is destroying our political system. Our legislators spend most of their time trying to raise money for their next campaign rather that trying to do what is right for the country. Floods of pernicious ads permeate the media and social media. Most of they are flat out propaganda filled with lies and half truths. Things have really got out of control. We need term limits and time limits on campaigns. We need to get big money out of the equation.
In addition to getting away with harming and killing their customers, tobacco farmers also use a lot of child labor. There is a loophole in child labor laws that was intended to allow children that are family members to work on farms. This has been expanded to allow ANY children to work, and there was nothing put in the law to protect them from harvesting tobacco.
