Corporation intentionally produces addictive good, that happens to be very dangerous, and run amazing marketing for years. People who are hurt or who see the harm the good causes raise awareness of the dangers of said good. Corporation denies that the good is dangerous for decades, and only finally admits that they're dangerous when they're dragged before Congress. People are still addicted, and will continue to become addicted. Consumers are victimized by the addictive chemicals.
Sorry, but once corporations lying and using addictive substances enter the picture, even a die hard libertarian has to throw in the towel. It's over: the market free fails when it comes to big tobacco.
