Why should the state be allowed to punish a company on assumed future damage of a product?
It's not about future damage, or even the current damage, it's about intentionally defrauding the public into thinking it doesn't occur. Do you think tobacco companies should be able to tell pregnant women smoking is good for their baby and use their own scientific think tanks to back up that claim? If not, why is it ok for the oil companies to do it?
