Yet, to keep the pernicious effects of those flaws from being amplified by that tool at scale, it needs to be kept in check. Smoking habit may be a reflection of poor self-control on the part of the smokers, but that is no defense against Philip Morris fines.

People at large are not really aware of the severity and expanse of own vulnerabilities -- addiction, coginitive bias etc. Or are even unwilling to seriously think through that angle.
