„Let this world sink”
The three largest Canadian tobacco companies, Imperial Tobacco Canada, JTI-Macdonald Corp, and Rothmans Benson & Hedges, were the subject of the largest class-action lawsuit in Canadian history, brought by current and former smokers. The case started on 12 March 2012 in Quebec Superior Court, and the companies faced a potential payout of C$27 billion (US$27.30 billion) in damages and penalties.[9][10][11] In addition, a number of Canadian provinces are teaming up to sue tobacco companies to recover healthcare costs caused by smoking.[9] On 1 June 2015, Quebec Superior Court Justice Brian Riordan had awarded more than $15 billion to Quebec smokers in a landmark case that pitted them against three Canadian cigarette giants, including JTI-Macdonald Corp

Substantive Justification:
In the 1960s, tobacco companies argued that cigarettes were not life-threatening and several decades later, they paid huge compensation for their lies. For the effects of global warming, the rise in the level of the oceans and the destruction it will entail, no one will pay us compensation, the same lies we hear from politicians, lobbyists, giants selling oil and companies associated with them. The interesting aspect for me is also that as a human / mass we don't care. We smoke cigaretes, we know they cause cancer, we eat meat, we drive oil cars, we cut trees, even though we know it leads to a catastrophe. People work in such corporations proudly talk about their work, others produce advertisements and derive satisfaction from it. The heads of these companies tell
us that if they don't produce it, someone else will. We all want it, apparently. A black dot covers a packet of cigarettes can symbolize drops of oil because it could as well be advertised in these photos or a lump of coal that is constantly fired by thousands of mines on our planet and cose rise of teprature and rise of oceans .
The black spot in this case can also mean the disappearance which is analogous to the
disappearance of fauna in the oceans and in the near future disappearance areas flooded by oceans.
