63. To add to my previous point
Don't you think it is demeaning to a worker, especially to a worker with any sense of conscience, for his or her livelihood to depend on having to work for a company which manufactures and promotes such a deadly product?

I don't wish to get into the specifics as to how, but I think society has an obligation to see that such workers can find better employment.
