Well, I don't think tobacco companies should be held solely responsible for a person's addiction to nicotine. The companies do include warnings about the negative effects of smoking and the substances in their products. However, individuals are aware of these risks but may not always follow them in their daily lives. So, I believe individuals are more responsible for their nicotine addiction. As far as I know, one cigarette contains about seven milligrams of nicotine, and when someone smokes, they inhale this nicotine, which significantly affects their lungs. Therefore, I think individuals are more responsible for their addiction than the companies.

Actual audio transcript (What native speakers are likely to hear):

The company of tobacco include the negative effects of smoking and using uh, different kinds of substance in their wrpper. But individuals also notice that, but they do not follow in their regular life. So I think persons are much more eICt addictate to nicotine. As far I know one piece of cigarete includes seven gram of nicotine and if the person smoke um, they inhale such nicotines which really affect our lungs. So I think individuals are much more responsible for that as compared to companies.
