Are People Being Duped When It Comes to Others Making Money?

Question by hbuckmeister: Are people being duped when it comes to others making money?
Who is really the “Special Interest” here? The big tobacco firms or these special interest group, who have gone from state to state encouraging smoking bans, and making huge profit off it also. I ask you, “When do the people win?” This is a war with special interest groups and big tobacco. Neither could care less about our well being. Neither tell the truth, why should they? More money to line thier pockets. So, I guess my question for the boards. When do the average citizen win while these two are battling it out for profit?

Best answer:

Answer by sunshine25
The special interest groups represent the people by filing class-actions suits against big tobacco – the companies have been forced to pay huge awards, agree to limit their advertising campaigns, admit that smoking can cause cancer, contribute money to stop-smoking clinics. Also laws have been passed banning smoking from inside most public places.
