Simple logic?

To intentionally act in such a way that your actions will injure or kill people is to act immorally.

Cigarette manufacturers know the product they are making, when used as directed, will kill hundreds of thousands of people each year, including people who don't smoke.

Therefore, cigarette manufacturers act immorally when they produce cigarettes.

Can someone point out a flaw in my logic?

Comment: That is logical, tho a very different argument than prohibition and the politics of health. Is prohibition a justice? Legal and political arrangements that depart too far from true justice should, if possible, be replaced by arrangements that better promote justice and thus well-being.
