Should tobacco companies be responsible?

I do not think tobacco companies should be held responsible for smoking related deaths or illnesses.  People who smoke do so with the understanding that it is not good for them.  The idea that "smoking kills" is imbedded into our minds as children and is continually reiterated throughout our whole lives.  Even the packs of cigarettes themselves have warnings on an entire panel.  Why should a company who warns their potential users of danger be held responsible for it?  Smokers who do not know or fully understand the risks of smoking must be very few.  Congratulations if you made it through your whole life not knowing what is not healthy.
