Class debate; Ethics.

We dream and aspire to be well off, to not have to worry about money and to live a comfortable life. To own a cigarette company means you will definitely make a lot of money. Though smoking is addictive and kills people with cancer and other diseases.

Do you believe:

People should be responsible for themselves as everyone knows smoking is bad for your health. You are making and selling cigarettes but you are not forcing people to smoke. People can make their own choices in life and you are not at fault if they choose to smoke and die.

Or do you believe:

People start smoking when they are young not when they are a responsible adult. Younger people are enticed by advertising and what they see in the movies. As a cigarette company you should be responsible for people who die from smoking. Because they started when they were young and were attracted to the life style portrayed by advertising.

Choose a side, spend sometime discussing some points that support your reason. This is to get the debate started and you should make more as the other side makes their argument.

Other topics that relate: People try to take MacDonald's to court because the food has made them extremely overweight. Though nobody has forced them to eat there but where allured by the advertising.
