It was thought that the tobacco lobby was too strong to take down - and for a while it was true - but down they went, eventually.
Now it's time for the NRA.

The problem I had with big tobacco was their marketing strategy to kids. If an adult wants to pick up the habit I have no issues with it, but generally speaking most don't. If you don't pick up smoking by 18, your chances of becoming a lifelong smoker are signficantly less.
