How far do you want to move the goalposts?
Thanks for answering the question.

So it seems that it takes 80 years for the American government to do something about it. Well past the golden age of profit of the tobacco industry.

Now please explain to me again how this is the justice system suddenly genuinely caring about people's health instead of a strategic case to kill European competitors and extort money out of them?

Chemical companies like Dow, 3M and DuPont are in the same basket and don't seem to get fined much.
