Cigarettes?


Well, yes, cigarettes and alcohol (the latter in excess). Or even sugary drinks in excess. But there was, of course, a huge settlement in the case of cigarettes and the dangers are fairly well understood. There also would seem to be a qualitative difference between links to health problems/mortality over the course of years and failures that lead to someone's immediate death.
