Volenti non fit injuria

Volenti non fit injuria = to the willing, no injury is done


I know my classes have watched 'Supersize Me' 
Do you remember that people tried to sue McDonalds for eating their food? 

Nobody forced the food into their mouths. Does that mean that as long as you chose to eat it, you can't blame anyone for the consequences? 

Similarly for smoking, Cigarettes in Singapore have plenty of health warnings on the packaging. Does that mean that you can't blame anyone when you get lung cancer? Or can you still blame the tobacco company for making it addictive and getting you hooked?
