One of my best friend's family raised it on a small farm in NC for a living.
They never seemed to feel guilty about it, and while I respected them for being farmers, I wonder if they did have some pangs of guilt somewhere about it. |

Would you work for an ammo company? How about a firearm factory? Bomb making factory?
Al "the snail" Gore came from tobacco. Don't see him handing any of his profits from "carbon credits" to atone for the families past "sin" of tobacco. |

"Ethical problem" with working for a legal industry? Are you serious?
My only concern would be the contract I was able to negotiate and would the paychecks bounce.

My primary concern would also be job security in that industry. And guilt?! Fuck that noise. I work at a casino and a liquor store. Dealing in vices is good business.

Why would anybody want to work for an industry that provides an addictive cancer causing drug that kills almost a half million Americans each year? Maybe that is a dumb question because a lot of people will do anything for money. |

How about working in the corn industry? after all high fructose corn syrup is probably as bad for you in the long run as tobacco... |

no,
I worked for Cat and I didn't feel guilty about destroying the earth I worked for Briggs & Stratton and I didn't feel bad about all the CO2 the put out or the fingers they chop off I was offered a job to make ammo for the military, didn't feel bad about the people that it would kill I make weapons for the gov and don't feel bad about the people they will kill Do people at fisher price feel guilty when some little johnny dipsh!t gets hurt with one of their toys? Do people that make cars feel guilty about all the people that die in them? People that smoke/chew made the decission to use tobacoo. They have to live with the problems just like people that drink beer/liquer Did people feel guilty about buying Kraft food, Nabisco, Miller beer products when Philip Morris owned them? They only own Miller now. You have friends that have ideals that they do not want to alter, but the hard truth is most companies your going to work for are going to do something you dont agree/believe in. |

Depends on the job,
If it was a job say marketing the smokes to kids or women who are pregnant, I think I would take a pass. If it was a job say improving the productivity of a production plant, sure why not. I dont smoke however one of my largests customers for years was doing a component that was used by Phillip Morris. |

Why would anybody want to work for an industry that provides an addictive cancer causing drug that kills almost a half million Americans each year? Maybe because he wants to work and needs the money? If you haven't noticed, the economy isn't exactly booming right now and unemployment is 10%. If he doesn't take this job, you can damn well be assured someone else will. Either way, the product is going to reach the consumer. Period. So what is there to feel guilty about? I'd feel worse if I elected to brush off a potentially good job opportunity out of the retarded notion that my personal protest might prevent someone from smoking. |

No. In reality most big tobacco companies have become much more responsible over the years. Anti-smokers might paint them as bad, but they are just offering a product to people who want it. They rarely advertise anymore anyway. When they do advertise, its usually in places where smokers are. I have much more of a problem with anti-smokers than tobacco companies.

Short answer, no. Smoking is a choice that you make yourself. By working there, I wouldn't be holding a gun to your head saying do it or die.
Not a smoker. |
