Did they go after nicotine because of money

[annonentity]

So a grand conspiracy with Monsanto, insurance companies, and the government all sitting in a smoke-filled room plotting to make cigarettes look bad? LoL

Distract from radioactive fallout?

Oh dear.

The "smoking mothers have healthier babies" claim has been debunked repeatedly.

Maternal smoking increases risks of low birth weight, stillbirth, and developmental issues.

Agent Orange being "safe" was propaganda, but that doesn't make tobacco smoke suddenly beneficial.

And no, cigarette tar isn't some magical anti-radiation shield, it's just a sticky carcinogenic mess.

This is less whistleblowing and more YouTube rabbit hole fanfiction dressed up as "critical thinking."

Try actual peer-reviewed science next time.

  Again your spouting from you propagandized viewpoint. Common sense says that cancer rates are increasing fast. Along with cardiovascular problems. At the same time smoking is in the decline. Since you know it all tell me why?
  You are naive, I worked for a while in a lab that tested the oxygen levels in a river down stream from a meat processing plant, the head of the department kept his job by telling the manager what he wanted to hear, even when the levels were disastrously low for the river because of the discharge he massaged the figures up. They are all doing this because that how it works. It is the same everywhere else.

Cancer rates aren't "skyrocketing," they are rising due to the microplastics in just about everything we consume.

Cardiovascular issues are up largely due to obesity, our poor diets, and inactivity, not some hidden plot.

Smoking's decline is a win, but other poor lifestyle choices have replaced it.

Your lab anecdote proves one corrupt boss, not a global science conspiracy.

For your conspiracy to work, millions of scientists, doctors, and statisticians worldwide would have to be in on it, flawlessly, for decades.

That's not insight, that’s paranoia dressed up as wisdom.

Reality isn't a movie where shadowy elites tweak every number.

And dismissing all the data because of one bad experience is simply lazy thinking.

Additionally SOTT.net is not a reliable source, it's an alternative fringe media platform known for publishing falsehoods.
