I'm glad you mention the link between smoking and lung cancer.
The link was proven by science in the 50s, but interested commercial parties invested heavily in propaganda (Doctor's smoke Camels!) and bribes to politicians in order to keep people smoking their way to cancer for decades afterwards.
The planet is smoking three packs a day as we speak. Where is science? Trying to squeeze a word in edgewise between airstrikes on Syria and Yemen?
