This site of course advocates criminal prosecution of writers and others advocating, inciting, causing, aiding and abetting, accessory to, the tobacco holocaust. Even as a mere civil law matter, when writings, books, newspaper ads, commercials, etc., aid and abet causing the death of a third party, the publishers and advertisers are liable. The family or estate of the deceased can receive money damages to the extent that the words aided and abetted in causing the death. Regardless, no data is provided to anyone, much less, to children too young, to render informed consent . Those victims do not consent.
Deaths pose a cost, for which both the perpetrators and their accessories share responsibility.
The next step after the civil litigation, is criminal prosecutions for the tobacco holocaust. Too many in the media censor anti-tobacco data , and actively promote tobacco use, aiding and abetting the killings. So prosecutions for tobacco deaths must also include aiders and abettors in the media. That is consistent with the criminal law doctrine of Heigho, supra , which is but a step away. Since it is unlawful to do, it is unlawful to aid and abet.
