Grace,
Excellent post! This really gets me thinking. Personally, I am like you... I'm not one to blame people for my smoking... I knew all of the dangers of smoking when I got started, so I can't blame anybody for my stupidity.
However, the point you raised about suing tobacco companies not for the money itself, but to "punish" the tobacco companies is a very interesting one. I never thought about it that way. What an interesting concept! But you're right... how much would that really affect them? Well, in my opinion, in certainly can't help them. So what harm could it do to be a part of it? If you've been affected by higher nicotine levels in light cigarettes, I don't see why you shouldn't take part. That's just my opinion.
Crave the Quit!
Pam
