    Were there unexpected problems that the designers encountered while working on the projects? I would personally never work on an account like this, but I know a few people that would be okay with it. As someone said before, people make the choice to smoke. Where this gets muddied is when the clients, the tobacco industry, purposely misleads customers. I can see where someone may get pissed off by taking on a project only to learn that the client is using your talent to be manipulative. I've worked on a number of projects like this and I really f*ing hated it. For instance -- I was asked to design a billing statement so that it would be difficult to see/find the due date, because the client made a lot of money on late fees.
